In-Text O think how much God bears with the Contempt and Reproach cast upon his great Name, and that will surely qualify our Resentments of any indignity done to our little Names! Who are we that we must not be spoken against? Or what are our Sayings that they must not be contradicted? Such Affronts as these we should learn to bear as David did when Shimei cursed him, So let him Curse; and as the Son of David did when his Enemies reviled him, Blessing them that Curse us, and Praying for them that this Persecute us, that we may be the Children of our Father which is in Heaven.
