give_v this_o general_a rule_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n he_o that_o take_v not_o up_o his_o cross_n and_o follow_v i_o 10._o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o i_o by_o which_o be_v resolve_v plain_o that_o

a_o cross_n that_o be_v without_o affliction_n and_o tribulation_n how_o do_v all_o those_o that_o live_v in_o peaceable_a time_n and_o place_n where_o no_o persecution_n be_v no_o trouble_n no_o

these_o that_o do_v render_v evil_a for_o good_a do_v detract_v from_o i_o for_o that_o i_o follow_v goodness_n at_o the_o least_o wise_a there_o never_o want_v those_o domestical_a enemy_n of_o which_o christ_n speak_v i_o mean_v 7._o either_o our_o kindred_n and_o carnal_a friend_n which_o common_o resist_v we_o if_o we_o begin_v once_o thorough_o to_o serve_v god_n or_o else_o our_o own_o

of_o the_o world_n &_o devil_n the_o resist_v whereof_o be_v much_o more_o difficult_a in_o time_n of_o peace_n and_o wealth_n persecution_n than_o in_o time_n of_o external_a affliction_n and_o
