Chapter 11 › Section 274: §. 274. Of all praise-worthy having their due.
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
To show that all that are praise-worthy have their due, he premiseth this general particle, all. He that saith all, excepteth none at all. Take a view of the forementioned Catalogue, and you will find this general exemplified in all sorts of particulars: as in Kings, instance David: and in other Governors, instance Moses, Joshua, Gideon, and others. In women also, Sarah, Rahab, and others: in old men, as Noah; young men, as Isaac, when he suffered himself to be bound, and laid on the altar: honourable men, as Joseph, the next in dignity to King Pharaoh: mean men basely esteemed, as they that wandered up and down: rich men, as Isaac, (Gen. 26. 13, 19. poor men, as they who were destitute.) There can hardly be named any sort of Believers, that have not obtained good report.
