Mt 5, 10English original
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
(Serm. in Mont. i. 2.) When peace is once firmly established within, whatever persecutions he who has been cast without raises, or carries on, he increases that glory which is in the sight of God.
