as_o though_o there_o be_v no_o more_o wait_v upon_o he_o but_o contrariwise_o his_o providence_n which_o he_o have_v declare_v unto_o we_o be_v such_o as_o aught_o to_o be_v unto_o we_o a_o

christ_n where_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v he_o who_o they_o persecute_v in_o his_o member_n god_n have_v well_o say_v before_o by_o zacharie_n he_o that_o touch_v you_o touch_v the_o ayple_a of_o my_o eye_n example_n a_o notable_a example_n but_o this_o be_v yet_o more_o plain_a that_o if_o we_o suffer_v for_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v as_o if_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v there_o in_o his_o own_o person_n wherefore_o let_v we_o know_v that_o jesus_n christ_n must_v forget_v himself_o if_o he_o shall_v not_o think_v of_o we_o when_o we_o be_v in_o prison_n or_o in_o danger_n of_o death_n for_o his_o cause_n and_o let_v we_o know_v that_o god_n take_v to_o his_o own_o heart_n all_o the_o outrage_n that_o tyrant_n do_v unto_o we_o as_o if_o they_o be_v fasten_v to_o his_o own_o son_n let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o point_n that_o god_n in_o his_o promise_n have_v set_v forth_o unto_o we_o for_o our_o consolation_n that_o be_v that_o he_o will_v so_o sustain_v we_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o our_o enemy_n whatsoever_o they_o do_v or_o satan_n their_o head_n yet_o shall_v they_o not_o get_v the_o upper_a hand_n over_o us._n and_o in_o deed_n we_o see_v how_o he_o displai_v his_o grace_n in_o such_o a_o need_n for_o such_o invincible_a constancy_n as_o be_v in_o the_o true_a martyr_n be_v a_o sufficient_a show_n that_o god_n work_v mighty_o in_o they_o there_o be_v two_o grievous_a thing_n to_o the_o flesh_n in_o persecution_n too_o wit_n the_o one_o the_o rebuke_n and_o shame_n of_o man_n and_o the_o other_o the_o torment_n that_o the_o body_n endure_v but_o god_n promise_v we_o such_o assistannce_n that_o through_o patience_n we_o shall_v overcome_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o and_o he_o perform_v in_o deed_n that_o which_o he_o have_v promise_v unto_o us._n let_v we_o therefore_o take_v this_o buckler_n too_o repulse_n and_o put_v back_o all_o fear_n wherewith_o we_o be_v assail_v and_o let_v we_o not_o restrain_v the_o power_n of_o god_n spirit_n to_o so_o narrow_a a_o scantling_n that_o we_o think_v not_o but_o that_o he_o will_v easy_o overcome_v all_o man_n cruelty_n and_o hereof_o among_o other_o we_o have_v a_o notable_a example_n in_o our_o time_n not_o to_o be_v forget_v a_o certain_a young_a man_n who_o dwell_v here_o with_o we_o be_v take_v in_o the_o city_n of_o tournay_n be_v condemn_v to_o be_v but_o behead_v if_o he_o recant_v and_o to_o be_v burn_v alive_a if_o he_o continue_v in_o his_o opinion_n when_o he_o be_v ask_v what_o he_o will_v do_v he_o answer_v simple_o he_o that_o shall_v give_v i_o grace_n to_o die_v patient_o for_o his_o name_n he_o will_v give_v i_o grace_n to_o endure_v the_o fire_n we_o ought_v to_o esteem_v this_o sentence_n not_o as_o the_o sentence_n of_o a_o mortal_a man_n but_o as_o a_o sentence_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o the_o end_n to_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n be_v as_o able_a to_o strengthen_v we_o and_o to_o make_v we_o to_o overcome_v all_o torment_n as_o to_o move_v we_o to_o take_v any_o other_o kind_n of_o meek_a death_n in_o good_a part_n which_o be_v more_o we_o see_v often_o time_n what_o constancy_n he_o give_v to_o poor_a malefactor_n who_o suffer_v for_o their_o offence_n i_o speak_v not_o of_o the_o obstinate_a but_o of_o those_o which_o comfort_n themselves_o in_o the_o grace_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v receive_v with_o peaceable_a heart_n the_o most_o grievous_a punishment_n that_o can_v be_v do_v unto_o they_o as_o we_o may_v see_v a_o notable_a example_n thereof_o in_o the_o thief_n who_o be_v convert_v at_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n god_n who_o so_o mighty_o assi_v poor_a offender_n be_v worthy_o punish_v for_o their_o misdeed_n will_v he_o fail_v his_o who_o fight_n for_o his_o cause_n that_o he_o will_v not_o give_v they_o a_o invincible_a power_n the_o third_o point_n concern_v the_o promise_n that_o god_n have_v make_v to_o his_o martyr_n be_v of_o the_o fruit_n that_o they_o ought_v to_o hope_v for_o of_o their_o suffering_n and_o in_o the_o end_n if_o need_v be_v of_o death_n itself_o now_o this_o fruit_n be_v after_o that_o he_o have_v

into_o his_o immortal_a glory_n but_o because_o we_o have_v speak_v more_o full_o of_o it_o before_o it_o be_v enough_o now_o to_o bring_v it_o in_o our_o remembrance_n wherefore_o let_v the_o

no_o hurt_n in_o make_v they_o to_o forsake_v their_o present_a life_n for_o such_o a_o reward_n and_o to_o be_v assure_v of_o this_o inestimable_a benefit_n let_v they_o always_o have_v before_o their_o eye_n the_o comformity_n which_o they_o have_v with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n to_o behold_v life_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o death_n as_o he_o by_o the_o opprobrye_n and_o shame_n of_o the_o
