The works of George Swinnock, M.A

Tamberlain tomb was rifled by the Turks and his bones worn by them for Jewels, though their enemy, and one that had conquered them in divers combats, and captivated their Emperor, and carried him up and down in an Iron Cage for his foot-stool. God makes his people honourable in the ⟨p. 848⟩eyes of the wicked: Since thou wast precious in my sight thou art honourable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. The sons of them that afflicted thee shall bow before thee, and thine enemies shall lick the dust, Isa. 43. 4. A wicked King Johoram honoureth and waiteth on a Servant of God, Elisha; Herod reverenceth the Baptist. Grace is a powerful, though silent Orator, to persuade all that see it to love and honour it. What Diogenes spake of learning, is truly applicable to grace, or the knowledge of God in Christ; It makes young men sober, old men happy, poor men rich, and rich men honourable.
