The Soule that thirsts after Truth, having taken paines, how according to the rules of godly providence, it may be possessed of that it so dearely loves, is now willing to conclude the bargaine by paying the price. Solomon here mentions no price, because he would have us buy it at any price. Sometimes it may cost us credit, and libertie, as it did the Apostles, Acts 5. 41. Sometimes it may cost us the losse of goods, as it did those Christians, Hebr. 10. 34. Yea, sometimes life it self, must be the price of Truth. We must be content to follow that cloud of witnesses, which appears in that little booke of Martyrs, the 11th Chapter to the Hebrews, we must write after that heroicall copie which our owne Worthies have set us, who sacrificed their dearest lives, to the crueltie of Bonners flames, that they might possesse the Truth. |
