Puritan Wisdom

On I Peter 4:14 --

"For the Spirit of glory and God resteth upon you.] He proves what he affirmeth; If ye suffer for Christs sake, Its an argument ye have the Spirit of God in you, which is a glorious Spirit, and makes you glorious. notwithstanding the ignominy and reproach the world casts upon you, as though you were of all others the vilest; whereupon you must needs be blessed, which Spirit is on their part ill spoken of, but on yours that suffer is glorified; So that as the Spirit makes you glorious, you glorifie it by your constant and joyful suffering."

-- John Rogers, 589.
