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

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

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

and_o be_v in_o almost_o constant_a tribulation_n and_o all_o along_o the_o apostolical_a epistle_n christian_n be_v frequent_o warn_v to_o be_v upon_o their_o guard_n against_o their_o enemy_n assault_n all_o which_o instance_n with_o many_o more_o that_o may_v be_v easy_o produce_v do_v abundant_o prove_v that_o the_o state_n of_o christianity_n must_v be_v a_o state_n of_o suffer_v 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 though_o
and_o inoffensive_a than_o the_o best_a of_o man_n either_o now_o be_v or_o ever_o be_v and_o yet_o nothing_o but_o calamity_n and_o affliction_n contempt_n and_o scorn_n disgrace_n and_o calumny_n be_v the_o reward_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o charity_n and_o if_o he_o who_o be_v lord_n and_o king_n of_o both_o world_n be_v willing_a for_o our_o sake_n to_o endure_v all_o this_o without_o one_o murmur_a word_n or_o repine_v thought_n shall_v we_o that_o be_v sinful_a dust_n and_o ash_n complain_v and_o rail_v and_o be_v at_o our_o wit_n end_n mere_o because_o we_o suffer_v some_o

demean_v ourselves_o under_o all_o the_o calamity_n of_o mind_n that_o shall_v befall_v we_o for_o if_o we_o do_v this_o willing_o we_o have_v our_o reward_n we_o shall_v find_v such_o a_o calmness_n

in_o general_a this_o that_o no_o person_n ought_v to_o forbear_v a_o vigorous_a prosecution_n of_o his_o duty_n upon_o the_o score_n of_o that_o calumny_n and_o disgrace_n that_o malice_n and_o

christian_a martyr_n may_v have_v live_v and_o die_v in_o peace_n in_o the_o peace_n of_o this_o world_n i_o mean_v for_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o in_o their_o life_n they_o have_v daily_o inward_a peace_n of_o mind_n and_o in_o their_o death_n comfort_n if_o they_o will_v have_v be_v as_o some_o in_o those_o early_a day_n and_o other_o both_o in_o queen_n mary_n and_o in_o a_o late_a

consider_v themselves_o as_o soldier_n and_o volunteer_n list_a and_o engage_v to_o fight_v under_o the_o banner_n of_o christ_n they_o remember_v at_o once_o his_o suffering_n and_o his_o victory_n in_o the_o end_n they_o daily_o see_v their_o bishop_n and_o pastor_n suffer_v martyrdom_n with_o a_o inflexible_a courage_n and_o constancy_n and_o by_o their_o brave_a example_n be_v animate_v to_o endure_v the_o loss_n of_o all_o thing_n rather_o than_o draw_v back_o unto_o perdition_n and_o oh_o that_o we_o who_o be_v as_o firebrand_n pluck_v out_o of_o the_o fire_n and_o have_v not_o many_o year_n since_o escape_v by_o a_o wonderful_a deliverance_n can_v be_v influence_v by_o the_o carriage_n of_o such_o christian_a hero_n to_o seek_v for_o true_a peace_n with_o god_n and_o with_o our_o

with_o the_o devil_n the_o world_n and_o the_o flesh_n in_o a_o perpetual_a resistance_n of_o all_o temptation_n and_o in_o a_o constant_a abstinence_n from_o all_o worldly_a and_o carnal_a lust_n these_o be_v those_o our_o deadly_a and_o implacable_a enemy_n which_o if_o we_o use_v not_o our_o whole_a stock_n of_o grace_n and_o industry_n to_o destroy_v will_v never_o leave_v the_o field_n till_o they_o have_v lest_o we_o none_o remain_v and_o have_v carry_v away_o both_o we_o and_o our_o standard_n to_o hell_n but_o if_o we_o be_v careful_a as_o it_o infinite_o concern_v we_o to_o be_v to_o steer_v our_o life_n by_o the_o compass_n of_o god_n law_n if_o we_o courageous_o set_v upon_o and_o go_v through_o with_o the_o work_n of_o righteousness_n and_o true_a holiness_n and_o if_o

and_o knowledge_n for_o its_o inseparable_a associate_n we_o may_v reasonable_o expect_v a_o happy_a voyage_n to_o the_o haven_n of_o rest_n and_o peace_n and_o what_o if_o it_o shall_v happen_v that_o the_o frown_n of_o the_o wicked_a that_o the_o utmost_a rage_n and_o fury_n of_o man_n and_o devil_n shall_v constant_o attend_v and_o pursue_v we_o in_o this_o our_o conflict_n shall_v these_o

and_o then_o by_o necessary_a consequence_n both_o our_o preach_a be_v vain_a and_o your_o faith_n be_v vain_a thus_o much_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o offer_v in_o the_o general_n by_o way_n of_o
