prepare_v long_o before_o too_o stand_v thereto_o constant_o and_o then_o they_o ought_v to_o call_v into_o their_o remembrance_n all_o the_o exhortation_n that_o they_o have_v hard_o in_o time_n past_a as_o if_o a_o soldier_n shall_v take_v arm_n when_o the_o trumpet_n do_v sound_a but_o what_o there_o be_v no_o question_n of_o seek_v start_a hole_n to_o escape_v people_n persecution_n be_v

we_o be_v and_o belong_v although_o we_o have_v promise_v nothing_o unto_o he_o hereby_o i_o do_v not_o bind_v all_o man_n of_o necessity_n to_o make_v a_o full_a and_o entire_a confession_n of_o all_o that_o they_o believe_v admit_v that_o they_o be_v thereto_o require_v s._n paul_n in_o this_o point_n have_v use_v a_o good_a moderation_n who_o be_v as_o ready_a as_o any_o other_o free_o to_o maintain_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o he_o ought_v and_o also_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n promise_v that_o in_o such_o a_o case_n he_o will_v give_v we_o a_o mouth_n &_o wisdom_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o office_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o only_o to_o strengthen_v we_o to_o be_v bold_a and_o valiant_a but_o also_o to_o

hold_v his_o peace_n it_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o christian_n to_o confess_v his_o faith_n be_v require_v christ_n never_o dissemble_v to_o save_v his_o life_n rosse_n his_o examination_n which_o he_o write_v be_v here_o answer_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o verity_n ought_v more_o to_o be_v regard_v of_o we_o then_o our_o life_n we_o may_v not_o regard_v what_o other_o man_n do_v but_o what_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v john_n 21._o the_o sum_n be_v that_o they_o which_o be_v in_o such_o distress_n shall_v ask_v and_o receive_v such_o wisdom_n from_o above_o not_o follow_v their_o carnal_a counsel_n to_o seek_v a_o way_n to_o escape_v as_o they_o say_v by_o any_o cross_n or_o bypathe_n there_o be_v also_o which_o reply_n that_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o answer_v not_o to_o they_o that_o ask_v of_o he_o but_o i_o say_v first_o of_o all_o that_o this_o serve_v not_o to_o abolishe_v the_o rule_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o to_o make_v confession_n of_o our_o faith_n when_o we_o be_v thereto_o require_v second_o i_o say_v that_o he_o never_o dissemble_v to_o save_v his_o life_n three_o that_o he_o never_o give_v answer_n so_o doubtful_a that_o it_o do_v not_o import_v sufficient_a witness_n of_o that_o which_o he_o have_v speak_v or_o rather_o that_o he_o have_v not_o satisfy_v they_o already_o which_o come_v to_o ask_v he_o further_o as_o it_o be_v lay_v net_n to_o catch_v he_o wherefore_o let_v this_o point_n remain_v resolute_a among_o all_o christian_n that_o be_v that_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o account_v their_o life_n more_o dear_a than_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o truth_n inasmuche_o as_o god_n will_v be_v glorify_v in_o it_o be_v it_o in_o vain_a that_o he_o call_v all_o those_o witness_n for_o the_o word_n martyr_n signifith_v the_o same_o that_o have_v answer_v to_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o faith_n be_v it_o not_o because_o he_o will_v have_v they_o serve_v to_o such_o purpose_n and_o here_o every_o one_o must_v not_o look_v to_o his_o fellow_n and_o companion_n for_o god_n do_v not_o show_v this_o honour_n to_o all_o to_o call_v they_o thereto_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v give_v to_o mark_v other_o affliction_n we_o must_v arm_v ourselves_o with_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n in_o our_o affliction_n the_o more_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v heed_n thereof_o peter_n have_v hard_o at_o the_o mouth_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v lead_v in_o his_o old_a age_n whither_o he_o will_v not_o ask_v what_o shall_v become_v of_o john_n his_o companion_n there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o but_o he_o will_v willing_o make_v such_o a_o reply_n for_o this_o we_o imagine_v by_o and_o by_o why_o do_v i_o rather_o suffer_v than_o other_o but_o contrariwise_o jesus_n christ_n exhort_v all_o in_o general_a and_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a always_o to_o be_v ready_a to_o the_o end_n that_o as_o he_o shall_v call_v hither_o one_o or_o other_o every_o man_n may_v march_v forth_o in_o his_o rank_n and_o order_n i_o have_v show_v before_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v ill_o appoint_v to_o suffer_v martyrdom_n unless_o that_o we_o be_v arm_v with_o god_n promise_n it_o
