12. God be thanked that our foes cannot have their way with us, or
Smithfield would soon be ablaze again. For false witnesses are risen upagainst me. Slander is an old-fashioned weapon out of the armory of hell,
and is still in plentiful use; and no matter how holy a person may be, there
will be some who will defame them. But glory be to God, ill names do not injure
the Lord’s people. And such as breathe out cruelty. They cannot speak
without cursing them; such was Paul before conversion. They who breathe out
cruelty may well expect to be sent to breathe their native air in hell; let
persecutors beware!
