and_o the_o text_n which_o remind_n timothy_n of_o that_o grand_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n suppose_v he_o in_o a_o state_n of_o affliction_n and_o persecution_n through_o a_o vigorous_a and_o

the_o best_a preservative_n against_o the_o prevalency_n of_o affliction_n and_o the_o most_o effectual_a method_n to_o prevent_v our_o sink_n and_o despond_v under_o their_o weight_n first_o i_o shall_v show_v that_o a_o state_n of_o affliction_n and_o persecution_n be_v high_o consistent_a with_o a_o state_n of_o christianity_n for_o the_o full_a clear_n of_o which_o point_n it_o will_v be_v very_o sufficient_a if_o i_o can_v show_v that_o christianity_n or_o a_o faithful_a adherence_n to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v ever_o yet_o be_v and_o by_o parity_n of_o reason_n will_v ever_o be_v attend_v with_o suffering_n and_o this_o will_v abundant_o appear_v 1._o from_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 2._o from_o the_o example_n of_o such_o as_o have_v suffer_v 3._o from_o the_o reason_n and_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o first_o the_o holy_a scripture_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n assure_v we_o that_o christianity_n will_v always_o be_v attend_v with_o suffering_n

they_o indeed_o that_o they_o shall_v receive_v a_o hundred-fold_n but_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v exempt_v from_o persecution_n so_o again_o st._n mark_v 13.9_o 13._o he_o tell_v some_o of_o the_o apostle_n plain_o that_o if_o they_o adhere_v to_o his_o doctrine_n they_o shall_v be_v deliver_v up_o to_o council_n be_v beat_v in_o the_o synagogue_n be_v bring_v before_o ruler_n and_o

18._o and_o that_o christ_n may_v effectual_o prepare_v his_o disciple_n to_o undergo_v those_o persecution_n with_o courage_n which_o he_o know_v will_v befall_v they_o after_o his_o departure_n he_o

second_o this_o will_v be_v far_o evidence_v by_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n as_o well_o as_o of_o other_o who_o have_v live_v since_o christ_n a_o man_n can_v but_o see_v
