A second reason is taken from the people of God that are beheld: and here I shall name you five or six Considerations.
1. The people of God, they that are truly such in the midst of all their present distresses, let them be what they will, yet their end shall be happy: now men do not regard men according to what they have in present possession, but according to what they shall have; the poorest man here in the world that is rich in faith, he shall be rich in glory and honour, the people of God are heirs of glory, and therefore they are said to be heirs of God, and co-h•irs with Christ, 1 John 3. 2. Beloved, now are we the Sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be; The people of God are to be looked upon according to what they shall be, not what they are, here they are Princes, though under a disguise, they are coming, though not come to their Crown, those, saith a Saint, that are now scorned, reproached and buffeted, and libelled, shall shine in heaven, when Christ shall appear, they shall appear with him in glory, they are heirs born to great Estates.
