Moses looked upon his reproach, as the reproach of Christ, he did not esteem his own reproach, but the reproach of Christ greater riches, then the treasures of Egypt (Heb. 11.26.) Our reproach is nothing but dung or dross which hath weight in it to press us, but no worth in it to enrich us; but the reproach of Christ is treasure, which though it have weight in it to press us, yet it hath abundance of worth in it to enrich and crown us. The Apostle calls it, The reproach of Christ, both because Christ did bear such reproach himself, and because Christ owned Moses in bearing that reproach; yea he owned that reproach which Moses bare, as if he had borne it himself; while we are reproached for Christs sake, Christ is reproached; and though it should grieve us that Christ is reproached in us, yet it may comfort us, that Christ takes our reproach as his. They have smitten me on the cheek reproachfully, and yet they have not done with me.

They have gathered them selves together against me.
