fashion_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o notwithstanding_o for_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o do_v he_o service_n i_o have_v and_o do_v bid_v adieu_o to_o father_n friend_n riches_n pleasure_n ease_n content_v life_n and_o blood_n and_o lay_v all_o down_o at_o the_o footstool_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v willing_a to_o part_v with_o all_o rather_o than_o i_o will_v dishonour_v he_o or_o in_o the_o least_o measure_n part_n with_o the_o peace_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o that_o sweetness_n and_o joy_n which_o i_o have_v find_v in_o he_o for_o in_o naked_a christ_n be_v the_o quintessence_n of_o sweetness_n and_o i_o be_o so_o far_o from_o think_v my_o affliction_n and_o punishment_n which_o this_o day_n i_o have_v endure_v and_o still_o do_v endure_v and_o groan_v under_o a_o disgrace_n that_o i_o receive_v it_o as_o the_o welcome_a cross_n of_o christ_n and_o do_v think_v myself_o this_o day_n more_o honour_v by_o my_o suffering_n then_o if_o a_o crown_n of_o gold_n have_v be_v set_v upon_o my_o head_n for_o i_o have_v in_o some_o part_n be_v make_v conformable_a to_o my_o lord_n and_o master_n and_o have_v in_o some_o measure_n drink_v of_o the_o same_o cup_n which_o he_o himself_o drink_v of_o while_o he_o be_v in_o this_o sinful_a world_n for_o he_o shed_v his_o most_o precious_a blood_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o my_o poor_a soul_n that_o so_o i_o may_v be_v reconcile_v to_o his_o father_n therefore_o be_o i_o willing_a to_o undergo_v any_o thing_n for_o his_o sake_n and_o that_o inward_a joy_n and_o consolation_n within_o i_o that_o carry_v i_o high_a above_o all_o my_o pain_n and_o torment_n and_o you_o my_o brethren_n if_o you_o be_v willing_a to_o have_v christ_n you_o must_v own_v he_o and_o take_v he_o upon_o his_o own_o term_n and_o know_v that_o christ_n and_o the_o cross_n be_v inseparable_a for_o he_o that_o will_v live_v godly_a in_o christ_n jesus_n must_v suffer_v persecution_n and_o affliction_n it_o be_v the_o lot_n and_o portion_n of_o all_o his_o choose_a one_o through_o many_o affliction_n and_o trial_n we_o must_v enter_v into_o glory_n and_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o if_o we_o be_v without_o affliction_n whereof_o all_o be_v partaker_n then_o be_v you_o bastard_n and_o not_o son_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v have_v christ_n sit_v down_o and_o reckon_v before_o ever_o you_o make_v profession_n of_o he_o what_o he_o will_v cost_v you_o lest_o when_o you_o come_v to_o the_o trial_n you_o dishonour_v he_o and_o if_o you_o be_v not_o willing_a and_o content_v with_o all_o and_o let_v all_o go_v for_o his_o sake_n you_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o he_o if_o parent_n husband_n wife_n or_o child_n land_n or_o living_n riches_n or_o honour_n pleasure_n or_o case_n life_n or_o blood_n stand_v in_o the_o way_n you_o must_v be_v willing_a to_o part_v with_o all_o these_o and_o to_o entertain_v christ_n naked_a and_o alone_a though_o you_o have_v nothing_o but_o the_o cross_n or_o else_o you_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o he_o matth._n 10._o 37._o 38._o oh_o my_o brethren_n there_o be_v such_o sweetness_n and_o contentedness_n in_o enjoy_v the_o lord_n jesus_n alone_o that_o it_o be_v able_a where_o it_o be_v feel_v to_o make_v a_o man_n go_v through_o all_o difficulty_n and_o endure_v all_o hardship_n that_o may_v possible_o come_v upon_o he_o therefore_o if_o he_o call_v you_o to_o it_o do_v not_o deny_v he_o nor_o his_o truth_n in_o the_o least_o manner_n for_o he_o have_v say_v he_o that_o deny_v he_o before_o man_n he_o will_v he_o deny_v before_o his_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o now_o be_v the_o time_n that_o we_o must_v show_v ourselves_o good_a soldier_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o his_o truth_n his_o cause_n and_o glory_n lie_v at_o stake_n in_o a_o high_a degree_n therefore_o put_v on_o courageous_a resolution_n and_o withdraw_v your_o neck_n and_o soul_n from_o all_o false_a power_n and_o worship_n and_o fight_v with_o courage_n and_o boldness_n in_o this_o spiritual_a battle_n in_o which_o battle_n the_o lord_n before_o your_o eye_n have_v raise_v up_o some_o valiant_a champion_n that_o fight_v up_o to_o the_o ear_n in_o blood_n therefore_o be_v courageous_a soldier_n and_o fight_v it_o out_o brave_o that_o your_o god_n may_v be_v glorify_v by_o you_o and_o let_v he_o only_o have_v the_o service_n both_o of_o your_o inward_a and_o outward_a man_n and_o stand_v to_o his_o cause_n and_o love_v your_o own_o soul_n and_o fear_v not_o the_o face_n of_o any_o mort●ll_v man_n for_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o be_v with_o you_o and_o uphold_v you_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o you_o isaiah_n 41._o 10_o 11._o but_o alas_o how_o few_o be_v there_o that_o date_n show_v any_o courage_n for_o god_n and_o his_o cause_n though_o his_o glory_n lie_v at_o the_o stake_n but_o think_v themselves_o happy_a and_o well_o and_o count_v themselves_o wise_a man_n if_o they_o can_v sleep_v in_o a_o whole_a skin_n when_o christ_n have_v say_v he_o that_o will_v save_v his_o life_n shall_v lose_v it_o and_o he_o that_o will_v lose_v his_o life_n for_o his_o sake_n shall_v find_v it_o what_o shall_v it_o profit_v a_o man_n if_o he_o gain_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o lose_v his_o own_o soul_n therefore_o it_o be_v better_a for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v willing_a and_o content_v to_o let_v all_o go_v for_o the_o enjoy_n of_o christ_n and_o do_v he_o service_n then_o to_o sit_v down_o and_o sleep_v in_o a_o whole_a skin_n though_o in_o so_o do_v he_o gain_v all_o the_o world_n and_o see_v he_o dishonour_v his_o glory_n and_o truth_n tread_v under_o foot_n and_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o servant_n shed_v and_o spill_v yes_o without_o doubt_v it_o be_v but_o many_o be_v in_o these_o time_n so_o far_o from_o suffer_v valiant_o for_o christ_n that_o they_o rather_o dissuade_v man_n from_o it_o and_o count_v it_o a_o point_n of_o singularity_n and_o pride_n and_o self-end_n for_o a_o man_n to_o put_v himself_o forward_o to_o do_v god_n service_n ask_v what_o call_v and_o warrant_v any_o private_a man_n have_v there_o unto_o see_v it_o belong_v to_o the_o minister_n to_o speak_v of_o these_o thing_n yes_o so_o it_o do_v but_o alas_o they_o be_v so_o cowardly_a and_o fearful_a that_o they_o dare_v not_o speak_v and_o therefore_o it_o belong_v also_o to_o thou_o or_o i_o or_o any_o other_o man_n if_o thou_o be_v a_o soldier_n of_o jesus_n christ_n whatsoever_o by_o place_n or_o call_n thy_o rank_n or_o degree_n be_v be_v it_o high_o or_o low_a yet_o if_o he_o call_v for_o thy_o

thou_o can_v if_o one_o of_o a_o base_a and_o cowardly_a spirit_n thus_o thou_o do_v let_v i_o tell_v thou_o here_o and_o that_o true_o to_o thy_o face_n thou_o have_v a_o dalila_n in_o thy_o heart_n which_o thou_o love_v more_o than_o god_n and_o that_o thou_o shall_v one_o day_n certain_o find_v by_o woeful_a experience_n alas_o if_o man_n shall_v hold_v their_o peace_n in_o such_o time_n as_o these_o the_o lord_n will_v cause_v the_o very_a stone_n to_o speak_v to_o convince_v man_n of_o his_o cowardly_a baseness_n have_v proceed_v in_o a_o manner_n thus_o far_o by_o the_o strength_n of_o
