SCRIPTURE

"Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and a derision to them that are round about us." — Psalms 44:13 (ASV)

You make us a reproach to our neighbours Which is the common lot of Christians: Christ and his apostles have given reason for the saints in all ages to expect it, and have fortified their minds to bear it patiently, yea, to esteem it an honour, and greater riches than the treasures of the antichristian Egypt.

a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us being always represented as mean and despicable, and reckoned ignorant and accursed, and as the faith of the world, and the offscouring of all things.
