Saints compared to Sheep.
John 10.27. My Sheep hear my Voice, &c.
The Saints may be compared to Sheep in many respects: Sheep are harmless Creatures, meek, sociable, contented with hard Commons, very tractable, patient, fruitful, and very profitable, are made a Prey to evil Beasts, &c. Upon all which Considerations, and many others, the Saints are likened to Sheep, which is fully opened under the Metaphor Flock, to which we refer you.
