As unknown, and yet well known; dealt with by Jews and heathens as persons wholly unknown to them, though we be sufficiently known; or being such whom the world knoweth not, as to our state towards God, and interest in him, though it knows us well enough as to our other circumstances. As dying, and, behold, we live; so hunted and persecuted, as that we appear every day dying; yet such hath been the power of God's providence, that we yet live: As chastened, and not killed; and though our heavenly Father chasteneth us, yet we are not utterly consumed: the apostle alludeth to that, Psalms 118:18: The Lord hath chastened me sore; but he hath not given me over to death.
