blood_n be_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n and_o his_o spirit_n and_o grace_v the_o assist_a cause_n and_o when_o suffering_n come_v from_o his_o name_n sake_n as_o the_o procure_a cause_n there_o be_v always_o joy_n in_o they_o therefore_o when_o we_o suffer_v for_o bear_v witness_n to_o the_o truth_n this_o be_v suffer_v for_o christ_n name_n when_o we_o thus_o hold_v forth_o the_o profession_n of_o christ_n name_n it_o tend_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o christ_n when_o we_o suffer_v out_o of_o love_n to_o christ_n honour_n to_o his_o person_n love_v to_o his_o office_n and_o administration_n choose_v to_o suffer_v rather_o than_o to_o abate_v any_o duty_n or_o neglect_v any_o communion_n when_o we_o suffer_v upon_o a_o gospel_n account_n as_o christ_n suffer_v for_o the_o introduction_n so_o we_o for_o the_o confirmation_n as_o he_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n so_o we_o for_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n that_o be_v the_o valuable_a account_n of_o our_o suffering_n 2.17_o

return_n to_o he_o of_o his_o suffering_n for_o we_o it_o entail_v we_o to_o great_a honour_n with_o he_o and_o he_o be_v able_a to_o recompense_v we_o for_o they_o all_o 1.7_o 2_o thess_n 1.7_o 2_o

1_o first_o learn_v the_o different_a excellency_n there_o be_v between_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o all_o other_o suffering_n suffering_n for_o sin_n be_v a_o cause_n of_o sorrow_n

may_v have_v comfort_n if_o bear_v patient_o and_o submissive_o justify_v of_o god_n and_o condemn_v of_o ourselves_o and_o humble_v ourselves_o for_o the_o sin_n that_o be_v the_o provoke_a cause_n of_o they_o there_o be_v comfort_n in_o those_o suffering_n that_o be_v for_o the_o trial_n and_o probation_n of_o grace_n it_o will_v be_v find_v for_o honour_n and_o praise_n at_o the_o appear_v of_o jesus_n christ_n 21.13_o luke_n 21.13_o but_o under_o suffering_n for_o christ_n name_n much_o more_o this_o will_v turn_v to_o you_o for_o a_o testimony_n if_o we_o suffer_v as_o evil_a doer_n our_o suffering_n be_v not_o thankworthie_a but_o if_o we_o suffer_v wrongful_o happy_a be_v we_o use_v 2_o second_o by_o way_n of_o encouragement_n let_v we_o not_o be_v afraid_a nor_o ashamed_a of_o the_o affliction_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v because_o they_o be_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o precious_a name_n of_o christ_n no_o matter_n though_o we_o be_v disgrace_v so_o christ_n may_v be_v honour_v if_o our_o name_n be_v cut_v out_o so_o christ_n may_v be_v exalt_v the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n may_v encourage_v themselves_o that_o they_o have_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n to_o bear_v it_o out_o with_o even_o that_o name_n by_o which_o the_o whole_a family_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v name_v say_v calvin_n let_v luther_n call_v i_o devil_n so_o christ_n may_v be_v magnify_v by_o i_o i_o care_v not_o many_o will_v be_v forward_o to_o suffer_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o a_o temporal_a prince_n and_o agent_n and_o account_v themselves_o honour_v thereby_o how_o much_o more_o honourable_a be_v it_o to_o suffer_v for_o the_o prince_n of_o life_n and_o glory_n three_o how_o precious_a ought_v christ_n name_n to_o be_v to_o the_o saint_n if_o it_o will_v make_v suffering_n so_o sweet_a what_o will_v it_o not_o make_v sweet_a how_o precious_a must_v that_o name_n need_v be_v that_o we_o be_v concern_v to_o lay_v down_o our_o name_n and_o life_n for_o if_o call_v for_o o_o how_o sweet_a be_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n it_o will_v like_v a_o bunch_n of_o camphire_n sweeten_v all_o to_o we_o let_v we_o esteem_v of_o that_o bless_a

name_n we_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v ready_a to_o be_v bind_v but_o to_o die_v at_o jerusalem_n for_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n rather_o choose_v the_o communion_n of_o god_n people_n and_o the_o
