in_o every_o mouth_n let_v we_o take_v up_o the_o cross_n and_o follow_v christ_n into_o his_o death_n yet_o all_o have_v not_o learned_a what_o that_o cross_n and_o death_n be_v but_o esteem_v such_o worldly_a affliction_n as_o be_v common_a to_o all_o man_n a_o part_n thereof_o betray_v a_o carnal_a persuasion_n in_o themselves_o that_o to_o have_v a_o share_n in_o the_o riches_n and_o honour_n of_o this_o world_n be_v part_n of_o god_n covenant_n and_o promise_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o outward_a cross_n befall_v they_o and_o they_o take_v it_o patient_o they_o think_v the_o promise_n due_a to_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n be_v they_o when_o indeed_o they_o have_v suffer_v nothing_o but_o what_o all_o man_n as_o well_o they_o who_o swear_v as_o they_o who_o fear_v a_o oath_n receive_v from_o the_o common_a event_n of_o nature_n and_o indeed_o be_v far_o distant_a from_o the_o true_a death_n of_o the_o cross_n for_o though_o they_o that_o with_o mary_n have_v choose_v the_o better_a part_n have_v much_o free_v themselves_o from_o such_o encumbrance_n as_o the_o worldly_a cross_n bring_v yet_o neither_o mary_n nor_o any_o other_o saint_n be_v free_a from_o the_o real_a cross_n of_o our_o lord_n for_o the_o wise_a man_n in_o respect_n of_o nature_n do_v he_o not_o die_v as_o the_o fool_n and_o one_o event_n unto_o all_o be_v not_o sickness_n poverty_n loss_n of_o good_n by_o land_n or_o sea_n the_o lot_n of_o all_o walk_n in_o this_o vale_n of_o tear_n be_v not_o the_o wife_n son_n brother_n or_o friend_n of_o the_o just_a man_n mortal_a as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o unjust_a and_o therefore_o for_o a_o professor_n to_o hope_v that_o he_o or_o he_o shall_v be_v by_o a_o miracle_n free_v from_o common_a calamity_n be_v proud_a and_o presumptuous_a for_o his_o hope_n must_v be_v because_o he_o think_v himself_o more_o righteous_a than_o other_o and_o deserve_v better_a thing_n at_o god_n hand_n which_o be_v before_o the_o holy_a god_n as_o a_o sacrifice_n of_o swine_n blood_n wherefore_o i_o say_v that_o cross_n which_o be_v the_o common_a fate_n of_o all_o man_n be_v not_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n first_o because_o most_o of_o these_o cross_n be_v incompatible_a with_o the_o natural_a life_n of_o christ_n for_o he_o who_o live_v above_o all_o natural_a concernment_n be_v above_o the_o cross_n of_o nature_n and_o therefore_o no_o such_o cross_n can_v befall_v christ_n except_o indeed_o the_o death_n of_o the_o body_n be_v a_o part_n thereof_o but_o what_o be_v the_o true_a cross_n he_o take_v and_o bear_v in_o the_o fullness_n thereof_o and_o the_o like_a must_v all_o they_o that_o follow_v he_o in_o their_o measure_n do_v as_o he_o teach_v luke_n 9.23_o and_o he_o say_v to_o they_o all_o if_o any_o man_n will_v come_v after_o i_o let_v he_o deny_v himself_o and_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n daily_o and_o follow_v i_o for_o who_o so_o will_v save_v his_o life_n shall_v lose_v it_o but_o whoso_o will_v lose_v his_o life_n for_o my_o sake_n shall_v save_v it_o second_o i_o say_v the_o worldly_a cross_n which_o befall_v reprobate_n as_o well_o as_o elect_n can_v be_v christ_n cross_n because_o to_o it_o the_o promise_n of_o eternal_a life_n belong_v in_o which_o the_o reprobate_n have_v no_o right_n and_o therefore_o such_o thing_n as_o the_o regenerate_v have_v in_o common_a with_o natural_a man_n can_v be_v the_o holy_a cross_n yet_o do_v i_o not_o hence_o affirm_v that_o this_o cross_n shall_v not_o fall_v upon_o the_o wicked_a
