which_o of_o the_o godly_a man_n in_o the_o world_n have_v there_o ever_o be_v without_o his_o cross_n and_o misery_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o a_o hour_n void_a of_o sorrow_n and_o torment_n so_o long_o as_o he_o live_v in_o this_o world_n for_o it_o behoove_v christ_n to_o suffer_v and_o to_o rise_v again_o from_o death_n and_o so_o to_o enter_v his_o glory_n and_o will_v thou_o seek_v any_o other_o way_n beside_o this_o high_a way_n of_o the_o cross_n the_o whole_a life_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o cross_n and_o torment_v and_o will_v thou_o seek_v rest_n and_o joy_n unto_o thyself_o thou_o wander_v out_o of_o the_o way_n thou_o wander_v out_o of_o the_o way_n i_o say_v if_o thou_o seek_v any_o other_o mean_v then_o the_o patient_a suffering_n of_o calamity_n because_o this_o mortal_a life_n of_o we_o be_v altogether_o full_a of_o misery_n and_o hedge_v round_o about_o with_o cross_n and_o the_o more_o every_o man_n have_v profit_v in_o godliness_n into_o so_o much_o the_o more_o grievous_a cross_n do_v he_o fall_v namely_o when_o the_o pain_n of_o calamity_n do_v increase_v the_o more_o through_o love_n and_o yet_o do_v not_o this_o man_n of_o who_o i_o talk_v be_v press_v with_o so_o manifold_a calamity_n lack_v the_o ease_n of_o comfort_n for_o asmuch_o as_o he_o also_o feel_v that_o he_o take_v plentiful_a commodity_n and_o friut_a by_o this_o

be_v void_a of_o sorrow_n and_o misery_n because_o he_o believe_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o accept_v of_o god_n the_o more_o and_o the_o more_o grievous_a thing_n that_o he_o can_v patient_o bear_v for_o his_o sake_n neither_o do_v that_o thing_n chance_n by_o man_n virtue_n and_o power_n but_o through_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n which_o can_v do_v so_o much_o and_o bring_v so_o much_o to_o pass_v in_o our_o frail_a flesh_n that_o the_o thing_n which_o man_n natural_o do_v always_o abhor_v and_o fly_v the_o same_o yet_o he_o attempt_v and_o love_v through_o the_o feruentcy_n of_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v not_o in_o man_n reach_n to_o bear_v the_o cross_n to_o love_v the_o cross_n to_o tame_v and_o subdue_v the_o body_n to_o fly_v from_o honour_n willing_o to_o

prosperity_n in_o this_o world_n none_o of_o all_o these_o thing_n can_v thou_o do_v of_o thyself_o if_o thou_o shall_v depend_v upon_o thyself_o but_o if_o thou_o shall_v put_v thy_o trust_n in_o the_o lord_n strength_n shall_v be_v give_v thou_o from_o heaven_n and_o the_o world_n and_o the_o flesh_n shall_v be_v subdue_v unto_o thy_o rule_n and_o dominion_n nay_o thou_o shall_v not_o fear_v

bear_v adversity_n for_o christ_n his_o sake_n then_o think_v that_o thou_o be_v in_o good_a case_n which_o have_v already_o find_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n upon_o the_o earth_n again_o so_o long_o as_o thou_o shall_v be_v grieve_v to_o bear_v they_o and_o shall_v fly_v from_o they_o so_o long_o shall_v thou_o be_v in_o evil_a case_n &_o the_o avoid_n or_o fly_v from_o calamity_n shall_v

christ_n his_o sake_n final_o nothing_o be_v either_o more_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n or_o more_o healthful_a unto_o thyself_o in_o this_o life_n than_o willing_o to_o suffer_v for_o christ_n in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o thou_o be_v put_v to_o thy_o choice_n thou_o ought_v to_o desire_v rather_o to_o suffer_v adversity_n for_o christ_n than_o to_o be_v refresh_v with_o many_o comfort_n for_o so_o shall_v thou_o be_v the_o like_a both_o unto_o christ_n &_o to_o all_o his_o holy_a servant_n neither_o be_v our_o merit_n and_o the_o come_n forward_o in_o our_o duty_n consist_v in_o plenty_n of_o pleasure_n and_o comfort_n but_o rather_o impatient_a bear_n of_o grievous_a evil_n and_o calamity_n now_o if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o better_a way_n or_o more_o healthful_a unto_o man_n than_o to_o suffer_v adversity_n no_o doubt_n christ_n will_v have_v show_v the_o same_o unto_o we_o by_o his_o word_n and_o deed_n but_o now_o he_o exhort_v his_o disciple_n &_o follower_n and_o all_o those_o that_o be_v desirous_a to_o do_v as_o he_o do_v manifest_o to_o bear_v the_o cross_n and_o that_o in_o this_o wise_a if_o any_o man_n will_v follow_v i_o let_v he_o renounce_v himself_o and_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n and_o follow_v i_o therefore_o all_o thing_n be_v read_v over_o and_o try_v let_v this_o be_v the_o conclusion_n of_o our_o talk_n we_o must_v enter_v into_o the_o
