be_v discover_v by_o constancy_n in_o obedience_n under_o all_o trial_n bless_a be_v the_o man_n that_o endure_v temptation_n for_o when_o he_o be_v try_v he_o shall_v receive_v the_o crown_n of_o

but_o if_o that_o be_v want_v there_o be_v no_o promise_n that_o give_v right_a to_o the_o reward_n now_o sincerity_n imply_v such_o a_o entire_a love_n of_o god_n as_o make_v a_o person_n submit_v to_o all_o duty_n command_v in_o his_o law_n and_o all_o trial_n appoint_v by_o his_o providence_n a_o high_a example_n we_o have_v of_o this_o in_o abraham_n when_o he_o be_v command_v to_o offer_v

from_o i_o and_o it_o be_v say_v concern_v the_o follower_n of_o the_o lamb_n that_o they_o love_v not_o their_o life_n unto_o the_o death_n the_o love_n of_o christ_n that_o animate_v they_o in_o all_o their_o suffering_n be_v sweet_a than_o life_n and_o strong_a than_o death_n indeed_o there_o be_v a_o wonderful_a difference_n in_o the_o behaviour_n of_o the_o martyr_n under_o suffering_n
