Matthew5:10
10 Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
The Men of the World judge those Men very unhappy and miserable, whom their Rulers make the Objects of their Wrath and Malice, and pursue violently to the loss of their Estates, Liberties, or Lives never considering the Cause, for which they are so pursued: But they are quite mistaken. For that Man who is pursued by such Violence, and hunted upon this Account, because to please Men, he durst not sin against God, but Labours to keep a Conscience void of offence, both toward God, and toward Men, Acts 24.16 is a Blessed Man, and if he be hunted out of the Kingdoms of the Earth, yet he shall be hunted but to Heaven, for to such Men belongeth the Kingdom of God in Glory, Iames 1.12. 1 Pet. 3.14. & 4.13.
