A52375	Godly adversity far better than wicked prosperity, or, The rage of the wicked, should not hinder the race of the Godly being a few comfortable reasons or encouragements against the fear and terrour of man : very seasonable & sutable [sic] for the consideration of God's people in this day of tryal, to fortifie them against all troubles and oppositions whatsoever : together with a heavenly discourse concerning the saints in their kingdom, wherein is discovered the excellency of the kingdom itself, and the wonderful glory and happiness of the saints in their heavenly habitation / by Edward Noble ...

walk_v in_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n very_o few_o eminent_a man_n in_o authority_n will_v come_v into_o the_o flock_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o the_o flock_n of_o christ_n general_o consist_v of_o a_o company_n of_o poor_a contemptible_a man_n and_o woman_n who_o be_v always_o account_v as_o the_o filth_n and_o the_o offscouring_a of_o the_o world_n poor_a fisherman_n and_o tent-maker_n and_o such_o mechanical_a person_n be_v general_o the_o honourable_a person_n in_o the_o flock_n of_o christ_n but_o now_o most_o people_n love_v to_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o great_a man_n and_o that_o way_n which_o be_v light_o esteem_v among_o the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n be_v common_o little_a regard_v among_o the_o most_o of_o man_n but_o that_o way_n and_o religion_n that_o be_v honour_v and_o promote_v by_o they_o be_v very_o prevalent_a upon_o the_o affection_n of_o most_o people_n and_o much_o follow_v and_o high_o esteem_v among_o the_o multitude_n but_o now_o the_o way_n of_o god_n be_v very_o little_a honour_a and_o promote_v by_o great_a man_n for_o not_o many_o wise_a man_n after_o the_o flesh_n not_o many_o mighty_a not_o many_o noble_a be_v call_v but_o god_n have_v choose_v the_o foolish_a thing_n of_o the_o world_n to_o confound_v the_o wise_a and_o the_o weak_a thing_n of_o the_o world_n to_o confound_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v mighty_a and_o base_a thing_n of_o the_o world_n and_o thing_n which_o be_v despise_v have_v god_n choose_v that_o no_o flesh_n shall_v glory_v in_o his_o presence_n so_o that_o it_o seem_v the_o flock_n of_o god_n consist_v of_o a_o company_n of_o base_a foolish_a weak_a despise_a contemptible_a creature_n as_o to_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n and_o there_o be_v but_o very_o few_o mighty_a man_n of_o the_o world_n will_v lay_v aside_o their_o honour_n and_o gallantry_n and_o travel_v in_o such_o a_o mean_a contemptible_a path_n so_o that_o this_o may_v be_v another_o reason_n or_o cause_n why_o the_o flock_n of_o christ_n be_v but_o little_a because_o most_o people_n delight_v to_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o great_a man_n and_o there_o be_v but_o a_o few_o great_a man_n belong_v to_o the_o fold_n of_o christ_n therefore_o there_o be_v a_o notable_a text_n for_o this_o purpose_n in_o joh._n 7.47_o 48_o 49._o where_o the_o jew_n officer_n be_v so_o much_o take_v with_o christ_n as_o that_o they_o can_v not_o but_o speak_v wonderful_a well_o of_o he_o before_o the_o chief_a priest_n and_o pharisee_n say_v never_o man_n speak_v like_o this_o man_n but_o when_o the_o pharisee_n perceive_v that_o they_o begin_v to_o relish_v the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n they_o present_o begin_v to_o put_v a_o block_n in_o their_o way_n and_o cry_v out_o be_v you_o also_o deceive_v be_v you_o so_o mad_a and_o foolish_a to_o be_v delude_v by_o such_o a_o one_o as_o he_o be_v sure_o we_o hope_v you_o have_v more_o wisdom_n in_o you_o than_o to_o be_v his_o disciple_n for_o pray_v consider_v have_v any_o of_o the_o ruler_n or_o any_o of_o the_o pharisee_n believe_v on_o he_o no_o there_o be_v none_o follow_v he_o but_o a_o few_o ignorant_a curse_a people_n which_o know_v not_o the_o law_n therefore_o you_o must_v needs_o be_v deceive_v if_o you_o follow_v he_o because_o you_o know_v the_o ruler_n be_v all_o enemy_n to_o he_o so_o that_o you_o see_v the_o main_a argument_n that_o they_o make_v use_v of_o to_o dissuade_v these_o person_n from_o follow_v jesus_n be_v this_o the_o ruler_n run_v the_o contrary_a way_n but_o four_o and_o last_o reas_n 4._o because_o there_o be_v no_o honour_n credit_n nor_o worldly_a reputation_n to_o be_v gain_v by_o walk_v in_o the_o fold_n of_o christ_n there_o be_v very_o few_o that_o will_v open_v their_o mouth_n to_o commend_v and_o speak_v well_o of_o those_o that_o walk_v faithful_o with_o god_n in_o his_o own_o way_n but_o rather_o the_o contrary_a those_o that_o will_v follow_v jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o simplicity_n and_o sincerity_n of_o the_o gospel_n must_v expect_v to_o be_v reproach_v revile_v defame_v and_o evil_o speak_v of_o by_o most_o people_n yea_o they_o must_v expect_v to_o be_v make_v a_o reproach_n to_o their_o neighbour_n a_o scorn_n and_o a_o derision_n to_o they_o that_o be_v round_o about_o they_o a_o byword_n among_o the_o heathen_a and_o a_o shake_n of_o the_o head_n among_o the_o people_n but_o now_o most_o man_n love_v honour_n and_o reputation_n and_o delight_n in_o the_o praise_n of_o man_n and_o that_o which_o be_v high_o esteem_v and_o have_v in_o admiration_n by_o the_o world_n be_v very_o please_a and_o acceptable_a to_o most_o people_n therefore_o this_o be_v another_o great_a thing_n that_o keep_v many_o off_o from_o close_v in_o with_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n because_o most_o man_n love_v that_o which_o be_v honourable_a in_o the_o world_n eye_n therefore_o say_v christ_n joh._n 5.44_o how_o can_v you_o believe_v which_o receive_v honour_n one_o of_o another_o and_o seek_v not_o that_o honour_n which_o come_v from_o god_n only_o so_o that_o while_o person_n be_v ambitious_a and_o desirous_a of_o worldly_a honour_n they_o can_v never_o be_v faithful_a follower_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o that_o which_o be_v high_o esteem_v among_o man_n be_v abomination_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o again_o there_o be_v a_o notable_a text_n for_o this_o purpose_n in_o joh._n 12.42_o 43._o where_o there_o be_v several_a person_n among_o the_o chief_a ruler_n believe_v on_o he_o but_o because_o of_o the_o pharisee_n they_o do_v not_o confess_v he_o lest_o they_o shall_v lose_v their_o credit_n among_o they_o and_o so_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o synagogue_n why_o what_o be_v the_o matter_n that_o they_o be_v not_o faithful_a to_o their_o conscience_n in_o this_o case_n why_o here_o be_v the_o business_n they_o love_v the_o praise_n of_o man_n more_o than_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n they_o do_v see_v and_o perceive_v that_o if_o they_o have_v confess_v he_o open_o and_o have_v declare_v in_o good_a earnest_n for_o christ_n than_o they_o shall_v present_o have_v lose_v their_o credit_n and_o reputation_n among_o the_o jew_n and_o have_v expose_v themselves_o to_o shame_n and_o reproach_n for_o they_o know_v that_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n be_v every_o where_o speak_v against_o act_v 28.22_o therefore_o they_o will_v be_v none_o of_o christ_n disciple_n because_o they_o be_v in_o love_n with_o worldly_a honour_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o so_o many_o reject_v the_o pure_a command_n and_o institution_n of_o jesus_n christ_n because_o they_o be_v mean_a and_o contemptible_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n and_o be_v not_o trim_v and_o garnish_v with_o rich_a outside_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o so_o many_o mock_n and_o scoff_n and_o jeer_v at_o that_o heavenly_a ordinance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n believer_n baptism_n and_o will_v not_o suffer_v it_o to_o have_v any_o be_v or_o entertainment_n in_o the_o world_n because_o it_o must_v be_v do_v in_o a_o poor_a mean_a and_o despicable_a manner_n i_o mean_v as_o in_o the_o account_n of_o the_o world_n but_o if_o you_o come_v to_o talk_v with_o they_o about_o that_o foolish_a foppery_n that_o humane_a invention_n of_o infant_n sprinkle_v oh_o that_o must_v be_v have_v in_o reverence_n by_o they_o and_o that_o must_v be_v high_o extol_v and_o magnify_v by_o they_o because_o it_o be_v so_o neat_o and_o handsome_o do_v and_o gild_a with_o outside_n gallantry_n and_o of_o great_a repute_n and_o very_o commendable_a almost_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o every_o one_o for_o many_o time_n there_o be_v a_o brave_a silver_n basin_n to_o hold_v the_o water_n in_o &_o that_o make_v a_o honourable_a show_n and_o please_v the_o fancy_n of_o people_n exceed_o and_o again_o many_o time_n there_o be_v a_o fine_a soarlet_a mantle_n to_o cover_v the_o child_n with_o a_o broad_a silver_n lace_n upon_o it_o and_o that_o be_v very_o pleasant_a to_o behold_v in_o a_o carnal_a eye_n and_o several_a other_o ceremony_n and_o circumstance_n which_o be_v very_o decent_a and_o commendable_a in_o the_o account_n of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o this_o vain_a and_o scripture-less_a practice_n be_v so_o acceptable_a to_o most_o people_n so_o that_o i_o judge_v this_o may_v also_o be_v another_o great_a reason_n why_o christ_n have_v so_o few_o disciple_n because_o there_o be_v no_o worldly_a honour_n to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n and_o most_o man_n love_v not_o shame_n and_o reproach_n so_o i_o shall_v leave_v these_o few_o hint_n to_o your_o serious_a consideration_n and_o conclude_v this_o short_a point_n with_o a_o brief_a word_n of_o caution_n and_o so_o proceed_v to_o a_o second_o observation_n well_o then_o see_v it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o flock_n of_o christ_n be_v

receive_v a_o glorious_a portion_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o heavenly_a father_n which_o will_v be_v no_o less_o than_o a_o crown_n and_o kingdom_n see_v another_o glorious_a testimony_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o proposition_n in_o luke_n 22.28_o 29_o 30._o say_v christ_n there_o to_o his_o disciple_n you_o be_v they_o which_o have_v continue_v with_o i_o in_o my_o temptation_n as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v you_o be_v they_o which_o have_v be_v with_o i_o in_o all_o my_o trouble_n and_o have_v follow_v i_o faithful_o in_o all_o my_o suffering_n and_o have_v travel_v with_o i_o in_o a_o difficult_a path_n and_o now_o for_o your_o comfort_n and_o encouragement_n here_o be_v a_o promise_n for_o you_o to_o make_v you_o amends_o for_o all_o your_o trial_n i_o will_v see_v that_o you_o shall_v be_v sufficient_o requite_v for_o every_o thing_n that_o you_o have_v lose_v in_o my_o service_n therefore_o take_v notice_n that_o i_o appoint_v unto_o you_o a_o kingdom_n even_o as_o my_o father_n have_v appoint_v unto_o i_o and_o you_o shall_v eat_v and_o drink_v at_o my_o table_n in_o my_o kingdom_n and_o sit_v upon_o throne_n judge_v the_o twelve_o tribe_n of_o israel_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o honour_n and_o dignity_n what_o glory_n and_o majesty_n the_o poor_a despise_a saint_n of_o god_n shall_v one_o day_n have_v confer_v upon_o they_o and_o what_o a_o eminent_a portion_n they_o shall_v one_o day_n receive_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o heavenly_a father_n therefore_o here_o they_o have_v no_o continue_a city_n but_o they_o seek_v one_o to_o come_v wherefore_o god_n be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o be_v call_v their_o god_n for_o he_o have_v prepare_v for_o they_o a_o city_n therefore_o i_o shall_v conclude_v the_o proof_n of_o this_o proposition_n with_o that_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n jam._n 2.5_o where_o he_o speak_v thus_o harken_v my_o belove_a brethren_n have_v not_o god_n choose_v the_o poor_a of_o this_o world_n rich_a in_o faith_n and_o heir_n of_o the_o kingdom_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o they_o that_o love_v he_o though_o they_o be_v poor_a in_o this_o world_n yet_o they_o be_v rich_a in_o faith_n and_o heir_n of_o a_o kingdom_n and_o though_o now_o it_o may_v be_v they_o be_v brand_v and_o stigmatise_v with_o filthy_a name_n and_o call_v fanatic_n and_o schismatic_n and_o heretic_n and_o the_o like_a yet_o they_o shall_v one_o day_n appear_v to_o be_v the_o jewel_n of_o god_n and_o all_o nation_n shall_v call_v they_o bless_v in_o a_o delightful_a land_n and_o they_o shall_v dwell_v with_o god_n in_o his_o heavenly_a habitation_n for_o this_o we_o know_v when_o our_o earthly_a tabernacle_n be_v dissolve_v we_o shall_v have_v a_o building_n of_o god_n a_o house_n not_o make_v with_o hand_n eternal_a in_o the_o heaven_n mal._n 3.12_o 2_o cor._n 5.1_o so_o much_o shall_v suffice_v for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o proposition_n viz._n that_o god_n people_n shall_v one_o day_n receive_v possess_v and_o enjoy_v a_o kingdom_n i_o shall_v now_o come_v to_o speak_v a_o few_o word_n concern_v the_o excellency_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o endeavour_v to_o show_v you_o in_o some_o measure_n what_o manner_n of_o kingdom_n this_o will_v be_v that_o shall_v one_o day_n be_v the_o portion_n of_o god_n people_n first_o that_o kingdom_n which_o god_n will_v one_o day_n give_v unto_o his_o people_n it_o be_v a_o heavenly_a kingdom_n it_o be_v not_o a_o earthly_a corruptible_a kingdom_n adorn_v with_o worldly_a vanity_n but_o it_o be_v a_o heavenly_a incorruptible_a kingdom_n adorn_v with_o celestial_a majesty_n it_o be_v not_o a_o mean_a contemptible_a kingdom_n attend_v with_o earthly_a corruption_n but_o it_o be_v a_o high_a and_o lofty_a kingdom_n fill_v with_o heavenly_a beauty_n it_o be_v not_o a_o ordinary_a kingdom_n to_o be_v find_v here_o upon_o earth_n but_o it_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a kingdom_n reserve_v now_o in_o heaven_n it_o be_v such_o a_o kingdom_n as_o all_o the_o kingdom_n on_o earth_n and_o all_o the_o monarch_n in_o the_o world_n be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v compare_v nor_o put_v in_o the_o balance_n with_o it_o therefore_o this_o be_v one_o thing_n which_o may_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n demonstrate_v the_o excellency_n of_o this_o kingdom_n it_o be_v such_o a_o heavenly_a portion_n as_o that_o all_o the_o earth_n be_v
