See what an high estimate we should set upon the Godly, they are Jewels,1 they are the Glory of the Creation: they are compared to Stars for their beauty, Rev. 1.20. to Spice Trees for their perfume, Cant. 4.14. They are the Chariots and Horsemen of Israel, 2they are the excellent of the Earth, Psalm 16.3. The Lord would soon break up house in the World, but that he hath some Jewels in it. Prize the Saints though they are humbled with Poverty: we esteem of a Pearl though it lye in the dust: John Baptist was girt with a Leathern Girdle; yet he was a Jewel, Mat. 11.9.
