In reference to the Saints of God yet living. You are now scorned and persecuted, the ungodly world doth now judge you, and condemn you: the Psalmist observed it in his time; they gather themselves together against the Souls of the Righteous, and condemn the Innocent blood. Innocence is no security against cruelty and oppression; yea, it seems, no wine so sweet to wicked men as Innocent blood; ye have condemned and killed the just:

And yet, that open violence may not want a pretence of Justice, they act in the form of a legal process, before they kill, they do condemn; but alas! those Fig-leaves will not cover their nakedness. It is the just, whom they do unjustly Condemn and Murder; so it was in David’s time, and so it was in St. James his time, and so it is now; the Reprobate world holds on its course to this day; and so it will be to the end of the World. God’s Righteous Abels must expect no better justice at the Tribunals of these unrighteous Cains.

For the reference, see:
