So in Heb. 11. It was the exercise of faith and hope upon noble and glorious objects, that carried them above the world, above the smiling world, and above the frowning world; above the tempting world, and above the persecuting world; as you may see by comparing several verses of that Chapter together. Vers. 9, 10. By faith he sojourned 1in the land of Promise, as in a strange Country, dwelling in Tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the Heirs with him of the same Promise; for he looked for a City which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Vers. 24, 25, 26. And by faith Moses when he was come to years, refused to be called the Son of Pharaohs Daughter, choosing rather to suffer afflictions with the people of God, then to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches then the treasures in Egypt, for he had respect to the recompense of reward. Vers. 27. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the King; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. And in vers. 35. They refused deliverance, that they might obtain a better Resurrection.
