lay no more vpon his children then they shall be able to beare but will giue the issue with the temptation And this promise hath the Lord alwaies fulfilled to his Saints faithfull children in all ages Whereof wee haue innumerable examples in the Scripture and the Acts and Monumentes of the Church howsome were stoned hewen a sunder slaine with the sword drawen in peeces of wilde Looke for examples in the scriptures and Acts and Monumēts how God hath strēghned his children in most gneuous torments horses rosted vpon gredirons some cast vnto wilde beastes to be deuoured some their skins fleyed off their shoulders innumerable burned vnto Ashes in flaming fire or consumed by some other torment deuised by cruel and bloudy tyrants In this lost age of the worlde that bloudy beast of Rome hath endeuored to be like other tyrants that were before him in crueltie But in all these torments the Lord sustained his Saints and children and gaue them great patience to endure what paines or punishments soeuer that could be inflicted vpon them so true is that saying of the spirite of God The Lord The beast of Rome hath endeauoured to exccede all tyrants before him in crueltie 2. Pet. 2.9 knoweth how to deliuer them that are his out of temptation Wherfore euery Christian ought to take boldnesse in all afflictions euen as Saint Paule did when he was deliuered for a time out of the mouth of that Lyon at Rome The Lord assisted me saith he and strengthned me and I was deliuered from the mouth of the Lyon meaning from cruell Nero Emperour of Rome that bloudy tyrane Whereof also he taketh further 2 Tim. 4.16 17.18 assuraunce for time to come saying in the same place and the Lord wil deliuer me The faithfull are assured that God will either deliuer them orgiue thē strength patience to endure Acts. 20.25 How Gods children are marty red and deliuered out of the hand of their enemies Mat. 10.28 Rom 15.4 will preserue me vnto his heauenly kingdome here then is that assuraunce which euerie one ought to haue in God Paule was sure he should be deliuered he was sure hee should be preserued yet no doubt hee did know that he must bee martyred one time or other as not long after he was how was he then deliuered His body and soule were preserued vnto Gods euerlasting kingdome Therefore our Sauiour Christ biddeth vs not to feare death nor tyrants for they can kill but the body but rather to feare God that can cast both body and soule into hell fire Althese things are written for our learning that we through patience and comfort of the Scripture might haue hope Let these examples euer bee before our eyes let vs serue God truely in our callings let our trust be wholly in him then shall we neuer want patience in afflictions but rather reioyce in tribulations which shall Rom. 5.3 bring forth patience Let vs still remember this saying of Saint Peter it is better if the will of God be so that we suffer for well doing 1. Pet. 2.20 then for euill for hereunto are wee called as Christ suffered for vs leauing vs an example that wee should follow his steps Let vs oftentimes call to remembraunce that sweete saying of our Sauiour Blessed are they which suffer persecution for righteousnesse Mat. 5.10.11 sake for theirs is the kingdome of heauen Blessed are ye when men reuile you and say all manner of euill sayings against you falsely for my sake reioyce and be glad for great is your reward in heauen Let vs neuer forget these most comfortable sayings of Saint Paule That all the afflictions of this life are not worthie of the glorie that wee shall haue in the life to come That we need Rom 8.18 31. not feare the force of anye tyrants for if GOD bee with vs who can be against vse who spared not his owne Son but gaue him for vs all to death how shall hee not withhim giue vs al things also Who shal lay No tribulation nor persecution canseparate the faithfull from God anything to the charge of Gods chosen It is GOD that iustifieth who shall condemne It is Christ which is dead yea rather which is rysen againe who is also at the right hand of GOD and maketh intercession for vs. Who shall separate vs therefore from the loue of God Shall tribulation or anguish or persecution or famine or nakednesse or sworde At it is written for thy sake are we killed all the day long wee are counted as sheepe for the slaughter neuerthelesse in all these thinges wee are more then conquerours through him that loued vs. Last of all let vs bee assuredly perswaded as Sainte Paule was that neyther Vers 38. death nor lyfe nor Angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor 39. things to come nor height nor depth nor any other creature shall bee able to separate vs from the loue of God which is in Christ Iesus our Lord. This assurance of faith wee ought to haue in our God in all our tryals temptations and afflictions whatsoeuer Let vs therefore bee faithfull and patient vnto the death then Christ will giue vs a crowne of life which he hath purchased for vs by his death and passion A Praier for Patience O Righteous God and mercifull father how wonderful art thou in al thy works and who is able to comprehend the secrets of thy iudgements Thou bringest man vnto destruction by and by thou sayest come againe O yee children of men thy wrath lasteth but the twinckling of an eye but in thy presence there is life for euermore heauinesse may endure for a night but ioye commeth in the morning I acknowledge O Lord that all my corrections are ten thousand times lesse then my deseruings therefore I pray thee good Lord stil correct me to amendment but plague mee not to my destruction And because ther is no chastisement but is grieuous for the present season though after it bringeth forth the quiet fruit of righteousnes to them that are exercised therin therefore I most humbly beseech thee O my good God and father to giue vnto me in al my tryals and temptations that most excellent gift of patience quietly to beare and suffer whatsoeuer thy gracious goodnesse hath appointed to lay vpon me for the tryall of my faith for the glorie of thy name and for the good example of others Yea O Lord I most instantly intreate thee to let patience haue her perfect working in me so shall I be perfect lacking nothing and howsoeuer it shal please thee to dispose of my body and goods yet graunt me good Lord this benefit that I may possesse my soule in patience so whether there come sickenesse come health come life come death or come what wil come I may say with patient Iob the Lord giueth and the Lord taketh blessed be the name of the Lord. This mercy O my good God vouchsafe to
