1. Partly in respect of those persecutions to which they were exposed; for the Jews were filled with a brutish zeal, for the Ceremonies of the Levitical Law, and expressed the greatest rancour against those, who lest Moses to follow Christ: This is the reason why the Apostle lays down so many preservatives against their revolting from Religion; and he spends one part of this Epistle in a most passionate Exhortation to perseverance, and doth in the tenth Chapter insinuate himself into them: You have already tasted the first-fruits of affliction, ver. 3.4. You took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in your selves, that you have in Heaven a better and an enduring substance. This is that temper that Martyrs have expressed, who have not only parted with their goods, but with their lives for the Gospel: When they came to the Stake, they would not so much as shed a tear, to quench those flames wherein they should ascend to God, as in a fiery Chariot: You took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in your selves, that you have a better and an enduring substance. Thus he insinuates himself, by representing what they had done, to encourage them to perseverance: and partly he fortifies them against Back-sliding, by those terrible judgements which he threatened against Revolters, as you read Chap. 6.7.
