CHAP. XXVI. Concerning the Persecuted, and the Persecutors.
a 1.1FOr, what ever persons proceed to Action with a just [purpose of] mind, and have the fear of God continually in their thoughts, pre∣serving their Faith towards Him firm and un∣shaken; and who do not prefer present fears and dangers before the hopes of those future things: although they may have had experience of some Troubles and afflictions for a time, yet they have not born what befell them with heaviness, be∣cause they believe, that greater Rewards are

But, by how much more pressing the Calamities were, wherewith they have been tryed; by so much more shining was the Glory they obtained.b 1.2But, such as have either dishonourably contemned what is just; or not acknowledged God themselves, and have dared to inflict on those who faithfully* 1.3worship Him, Contumelies and the cruellest of punishments; and who have not judged themselves wretched, because they havec 1.4punished [men] upon such Pretexts as these; nor [accounted the persons thus punish't] happy and blessed, who amidst so great sufferings have preserved their Piety towards God inviolate: Many of these mens Armies have been ruined, and many routed. In fine, their whole Military Forces have ended in a totall Overthrow.
Notes
a 1.1
At these words I began the 26thChapter, from the Fuk. Manu∣script, and the King's Sheets. Vales.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. The rea∣ding in the Medi∣caean Ma∣nuscript is truer, thus, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, But such as have either dishonour∣ably, &c. 'Tis much like what he had said above, at chap. 25, where see note (b.) Vales.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. In the Medicaean Manuscript the reading is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, which is truer if I mistake not. A little after, the same Co∣py has it, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, have ended in a most reproachfull Overthrow. Vales.
