2. The world can do you no harm, nor all the changes that you lie liable to in it; they may give you a great deal of outward molestation; they may pervert Justice, and condemn you as wicked persons, they may rifle your houses, imprison your persons, take away your lives, and remove you from off the face of the earth, yea and make you the scorn of men, and expose your names to standers and obloquy; but here lies your comfort in the midst of all this, when they have done their worst, and vented their spleen ⟨p. 163⟩with the greatest bitterness, yet they can never take away your righteousness, but that shall abide for ever, being laid out of the reach of their malice, nor can they overturn you in your great cause, or ever separate you from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus: Principalities and Powers have not any power so far to reach you to your harm, Rom. 8. 38, 29.
