imprisonment_n and_o affliction_n and_o torment_n the_o saint_n go_v through_o in_o the_o 11_o of_o hebrew_n and_o say_v peter_n if_o when_o you_o do_v well_o and_o suffer_v for_o it_o you_o take_v it_o patient_o this_o be_v acceptable_a with_o god_n for_o even_o hereunto_o be_v you_o call_v if_o a_o man_n for_o conscience_n sake_n towards_o god_n suffer_v grief_n this_o be_v thankworthy_a because_o christ_n also_o suffer_v for_o we_o leave_v we_o a_o example_n that_o we_o shall_v follow_v his_o step_n who_o when_o he_o be_v revile_v he_o revile_v not_o again_o when_o he_o suffer_v he_o threaten_v not_o but_o commit_v himself_o to_o god_n who_o judge_n righteous_o for_o christ_n have_v once_o suffer_v for_o sin_n the_o just_a for_o the_o unjust_a that_o he_o may_v bring_v we_o to_o god_n forasmuch_o then_o as_o christ_n have_v suffer_v for_o we_o in_o the_o flesh_n arm_v yourselves_o likewise_o with_o the_o same_o mind_n for_o he_o that_o have_v suffer_v in_o the_o flesh_n have_v cease_v from_o sin_n but_o the_o god_n of_o all_o grace_n who_o have_v call_v we_o into_o his_o eternal_a glory_n say_v the_o apostle_n by_o christ_n jesus_n after_o that_o you_o have_v suffer_v a_o while_n make_v you_o perfect_a establish_v strengthen_v and_o settle_v you_o cast_v all_o your_o care_n upon_o god_n for_o he_o care_v for_o you_o and_o rejoice_v inasmuch_o as_o you_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o christ_n suffering_n etc._n etc._n and_o think_v it_o not_o strange_a concern_v the_o fiery_a trial_n which_o be_v to_o try_v you_o as_o though_o some_o strange_a thing_n have_v happen_v unto_o you_o for_o if_o you_o be_v reproach_v and_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n haply_o be_v you_o for_o the_o spirit_n of_o glory_n and_o of_o god_n rest_v upon_o you_o on_o their_o part_n he_o be_v evil_a speak_v of_o but_o on_o your_o part_n he_o be_v glorify_v if_o any_o man_n suffer_v as_o a_o christian_a let_v he_o not_o be_v ashamed_a but_o let_v he_o glorify_v god_n on_o this_o behalf_n wherefore_o let_v they_o that_o suffer_v according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n commit_v the_o keep_n of_o their_o soul_n to_o he_o in_o well-doing_n as_o to_o a_o faithful_a creator_n and_o if_o you_o suffer_v for_o righteousness_n sake_n happy_a be_v you_o and_o be_v not_o afraid_a of_o their_o terror_n neither_o be_v trouble_v have_v a_o good_a conscience_n that_o whereas_o they_o speak_v evil_a of_o you_o as_o evil_a doer_n they_o may_v be_v ashamed_a that_o false_o accuse_v your_o good_a conversation_n for_o it_o be_v better_a if_o the_o will_n of_o god_n so_o be_v that_o you_o suffer_v for_o well_o do_v than_o for_o evil-doing_a for_o we_o both_o labour_n and_o suffer_v reproach_n because_o we_o trust_v in_o the_o live_a god_n who_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o all_o man_n especial_o of_o they_o that_o believe_v and_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o be_v appoint_v a_o teacher_n of_o the_o gentile_n for_o the_o which_o cause_n he_o also_o suffer_v etc._n etc._n but_o he_o be_v not_o ashamed_a for_o he_o know_v in_o who_o he_o believe_v and_o say_v though_o he_o suffer_v as_o a_o evil-doer_n even_o unto_o bond_n but_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v nay_o the_o eternal_a word_n of_o god_n that_o live_v and_o abide_v and_o endure_v forever_o by_o which_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v and_o create_v this_o word_n of_o god_n can_v be_v bind_v by_o that_o which_o be_v create_v by_o it_o and_o do_v not_o live_v and_o endure_v forever_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n i_o endure_v all_o thing_n for_o the_o elect_v sake_n that_o they_o may_v also_o obtain_v the_o salvation_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n with_o eternal_a glory_n it_o be_v a_o faithful_a say_n if_o we_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n we_o shall_v also_o live_v with_o he_o and_o if_o we_o suffer_v with_o christ_n we_o shall_v also_o reign_v with_o he_o and_o if_o we_o deny_v he_o he_o also_o will_v deny_v we_o etc._n etc._n and_o you_o may_v see_v what_o persecution_n and_o affliction_n come_v upon_o the_o apostle_n at_o antioch_n and_o at_o iconium_n and_o at_o listra_n what_o persecution_n he_o endure_v but_o out_o of_o they_o all_o the_o lord_n deliver_v he_o yea_o and_o all_o that_o will_v live_v godly_a in_o christ_n jesus_n shall_v suffer_v persecution_n mark_n shall_v if_o they_o live_v godly_a but_o evil_a man_n and_o seducer_n shall_v wax_v worse_o and_o worse_o deceive_v and_o be_v deceive_v therefore_o he_o exhort_v timothy_n to_o watch_v in_o all_o thing_n and_o endure_v affliction_n etc._n etc._n for_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o be_v offer_v up_o for_o the_o time_n of_o his_o departure_n be_v at_o hand_n and_o he_o have_v fight_v the_o good_a fight_n and_o finish_v his_o course_n and_o keep_v the_o faith_n and_o there_o be_v a_o crown_n of_o righteousness_n lay_v up_o for_o he_o which_o the_o lord_n the_o righteous_a judge_n will_v give_v he_o at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o not_o to_o he_o only_o but_o unto_o all_o they_o also_o that_o love_n his_o appear_v for_o god_n have_v not_o give_v to_o we_o a_o spirit_n of_o fear_n but_o of_o power_n of_o love_n and_o of_o a_o sound_a mind_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v unto_o timothy_n be_v not_o thou_o therefore_o ashamed_a of_o our_o lord_n nor_o of_o i_o his_o prisoner_n but_o be_v thou_o a_o partaker_n of_o the_o affliction_n for_o the_o gospel_n according_a to_o the_o power_n of_o god_n who_o have_v save_v we_o and_o call_v we_o by_o a_o holy_a call_n etc._n etc._n and_o john_n say_v i_o know_v thy_o work_n tribulation_n and_o poverty_n but_o thou_o be_v rich_a fear_v none_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o thou_o shall_v suffer_v behold_v the_o devil_n shall_v cast_v some_o of_o you_o into_o prison_n that_o you_o may_v be_v try_v and_o you_o shall_v have_v tribulation_n ten_o day_n but_o be_v thou_o faithful_a to_o death_n and_o i_o will_v give_v thou_o a_o crown_n of_o life_n this_o be_v speak_v to_o the_o church_n in_o smyrna_n and_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o 11_o chap._n how_o the_o witness_n of_o christ_n suffer_v and_o when_o they_o have_v take_v away_o their_o life_n and_o the_o dead_a body_n lay_v in_o the_o street_n of_o the_o great_a city_n which_o be_v spiritual_o call_v sodom_n and_o egypt_n so_o not_o natural_o call_v so_o where_o christ_n our_o lord_n &_o saviour_n be_v crucify_v that_o be_v through_o the_o great_a letter_n professor_n the_o jew_n before_o the_o witness_n be_v slay_v but_o after_o three_o day_n and_o a_o half_a the_o spirit_n of_o life_n from_o god_n enter_v into_o the_o witness_n and_o they_o stand_v upon_o their_o foot_n which_o frighten_v their_o enemy_n and_o the_o witness_n be_v call_v up_o to_o heaven_n and_o the_o same_o hour_n there_o be_v a_o great_a earthquake_n and_o the_o ten_o part_n of_o the_o city_n fall_v and_o be_v shake_v down_o so_o here_o be_v the_o reward_n upon_o the_o city_n and_o the_o persecute_v citizen_n and_o again_o you_o may_v see_v how_o the_o dragon_n persecute_v the_o woman_n the_o true_a church_n which_o bring_v forth_o the_o man_n child_n after_o he_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o heaven_n by_o michael_n and_o his_o angel_n but_o the_o woman_n or_o true_a church_n be_v nourish_v for_o a_o time_n and_o time_n and_o half_o a_o time_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o the_o earth_n help_v the_o woman_n and_o the_o earth_n open_v her_o mouth_n and_o swallow_v up_o the_o flood_n which_o the_o dragon_n cast_v out_o of_o his_o mouth_n after_o she_o and_o the_o dragon_n be_v wroth_a with_o the_o woman_n and_o go_v to_o make_v war_n with_o the_o remnant_n of_o her_o seed_n which_o keep_v the_o command_n of_o god_n and_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n now_o you_o may_v see_v what_o the_o devil_n the_o dragon_n and_o all_o his_o follower_n persecute_v and_o what_o his_o wrath_n be_v against_o the_o true_a church_n the_o woman_n that_o bring_v forth_o the_o man_n child_n and_o they_o that_o keep_v the_o command_n of_o god_n and_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o then_o the_o dragon_n he_o give_v his_o wicked_a persecute_v power_n to_o the_o beast_n and_o he_o also_o be_v to_o continue_v forty_o two_o month_n and_o he_o get_v up_o in_o such_o a_o rage_n in_o the_o devil_n power_n that_o he_o open_v his_o mouth_n in_o blasphemy_n against_o god_n to_o blaspheme_v his_o name_n and_o his_o tabernacle_n and_o mark_v they_o that_o dwell_v in_o heaven_n not_o they_o that_o dwell_v upon_o the_o earth_n for_o all_o that_o dwell_v in_o the_o earth_n worship_v he_o but_o those_o who_o name_n be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n of_o the_o lamb_n slay_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n to_o wit_n they_o do_v not_o worship_v he_o he_o that_o have_v a_o ear_n

therefore_o it_o be_v good_a for_o all_o to_o look_v unto_o jesus_n both_o for_o wisdom_n and_o for_o strength_n in_o all_o their_o trial_n and_o suffering_n and_o persecution_n for_o without_o he_o they_o can_v do_v nothing_o and_o christ_n say_v bless_a be_v they_o which_o be_v persecute_v for_o righteousness_n sake_n for_o they_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n bless_a be_v you_o when_o man_n shall_v revile_v you_o and_o persecute_v you_o and_o say_v all_o manner_n of_o evil_n against_o you_o false_o for_o my_o sake_n rejoice_v and_o be_v exceed_o glad_a for_o great_a be_v your_o reward_n in_o heaven_n for_o so_o persecute_v they_o the_o prophet_n which_o be_v before_o you_o but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o love_v your_o enemy_n bless_v they_o that_o curse_v you_o do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o hate_v you_o and_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o dispightful_o use_v you_o and_o persecute_v you_o and_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n you_o shall_v be_v hate_v of_o all_o man_n for_o my_o name_n sake_n but_o he_o that_o endure_v to_o the_o end_n shall_v be_v save_v but_o when_o they_o persecute_v you_o in_o this_o city_n fly_v you_o to_o another_o for_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o you_o shall_v not_o have_v go_v over_o all_o the_o city_n of_o israel_n till_o the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v but_o when_o they_o deliver_v you_o up_o take_v no_o thought_n how_o or_o what_o you_o shall_v speak_v for_o it_o shall_v be_v give_v you_o in_o that_o same_o hour_n what_o you_o shall_v speak_v for_o it_o be_v not_o you_o that_o speak_v but_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o

upon_o the_o earth_n etc._n etc._n and_o also_o you_o may_v see_v how_o john_n baptist_n be_v cast_v in_o prison_n for_o reprove_v of_o herod_n and_o his_o wife_n daughter_n please_v herod_n with_o
