righteousness_n for_o many_o in_o the_o first_o three_o hundred_o year_n persecution_n when_o no_o body_n know_v what_o they_o be_v will_v bold_o come_v up_o to_o the_o face_n of_o their_o enemy_n and_o tell_v what_o they_o be_v and_o suffer_v for_o what_o they_o profess_v the_o death_n i_o remember_v also_o the_o woman_n who_o when_o her_o friend_n be_v go_v before_o to_o suffer_v how_o she_o come_v run_v and_o pant_v after_o for_o fear_v she_o shall_v not_o come_v thither_o time_n enough_o to_o suffer_v for_o jesus_n christ._n but_o i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o instance_n of_o late_a time_n even_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n reign_n of_o a_o hartfordshire_n man_n that_o go_v as_o far_o as_o rome_n to_o bear_v his_o testimony_n for_o god_n against_o the_o wickedness_n of_o that_o place_n this_o man_n when_o he_o be_v arrive_v there_o and_o have_v tell_v they_o wherefore_o he_o be_v come_v they_o take_v and_o condemn_v he_o to_o death_n to_o wit_n to_o be_v burn_v for_o a_o heretic_n now_o he_o be_v to_o ride_v from_o the_o prison_n to_o the_o place_n of_o execution_n upon_o a_o ass_n with_o his_o face_n to_o the_o beast_n tail_n and_o be_v to_o be_v strip_v from_o the_o shoulder_n to_o the_o waste_n that_o he_o may_v be_v torment_v all_o the_o way_n he_o go_v with_o burn_a torch_n continual_o thrust_v to_o his_o side_n but_o he_o nothing_o at_o all_o afraid_a speak_v in_o his_o exhortation_n to_o the_o people_n to_o fly_v from_o their_o sin_n and_o idolatry_n he_o will_v also_o catch_v hold_n of_o the_o force_n and_o put_v they_o to_o his_o side_n to_o show_v how_o little_o he_o esteem_v the_o worst_a that_o they_o can_v do_v also_o when_o he_o be_v come_v to_o the_o place_n of_o execution_n he_o suffer_v there_o such_o cruelty_n with_o so_o unconcern_v a_o mind_n and_o with_o such_o burn_a zeal_n for_o god_n truth_n testify_v against_o they_o while_o he_o can_v speak_v that_o all_o amaze_a his_o enemy_n cry_v he_o can_v not_o have_v suffer_v as_o he_o do_v but_o by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o devil_n his_o name_n i_o have_v now_o forget_v but_o you_o will_v find_v it_o with_o the_o story_n at_o large_a in_o the_o three_o volume_n of_o act_n and_o monument_n at_o the_o 1022._o page_n but_o we_o will_v pass_v this_o and_o come_v to_o our_o second_o particular_a namely_o to_o show_v when_o it_o may_v be_v say_v a_o man_n do_v not_o only_o suffer_v for_o righteousness_n but_o also_o for_o righteousness_n sake_n to_o suffer_v for_o righteousness_n sake_n must_v be_v either_o with_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o persecutor_n or_o else_o of_o the_o persecute_v the_o persecutor_n what_o ever_o the_o person_n suffering_n be_v if_o he_o afflict_v this_o person_n for_o a_o suppose_a good_a that_o he_o think_v he_o have_v or_o profess_v he_o make_v he_o suffer_v for_o righteousness_n sake_n so_o that_o in_o this_o sense_n a_o man_n that_o have_v no_o grace_n may_v not_o only_o suffer_v for_o righteousness_n but_o also_o for_o righteousness_n sake_n but_o this_o i_o intend_v not_o because_o the_o text_n be_v not_o concern_v with_o it_o the_o thing_n therefore_o now_o intend_v to_o be_v speak_v to_o be_v this_o namely_o when_o a_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o suffer_v what_o he_o suffer_v upon_o a_o religious_a account_n of_o love_n to_o or_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o that_o good_a that_o he_o find_v in_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n or_o because_o his_o heart_n be_v join_v and_o espouse_v to_o the_o good_a of_o the_o truth_n that_o he_o profess_v not_o that_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o any_o truth_n of_o god_n that_o be_v not_o good_a but_o a_o man_n may_v profess_v truth_n not_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o goodness_n that_o be_v in_o it_o but_o upon_o a_o remote_a account_n judas_n profess_v truth_n not_o of_o love_n to_o the_o truth_n but_o of_o love_n to_o the_o bag_n and_o to_o the_o money_n that_o be_v put_v therein_o man_n may_v profess_v for_o a_o wife_n for_o a_o trade_n for_o friendship_n or_o because_o profession_n be_v at_o such_o a_o time_n or_o in_o such_o a_o place_n in_o fashion_n i_o wish_v that_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n to_o say_v this_o now_o there_o be_v not_o any_o of_o these_o that_o profess_v the_o truth_n for_o the_o truth_n sake_n that_o profess_v the_o truth_n of_o love_n to_o it_o nor_o shall_v they_o shall_v they_o suffer_v as_o professor_n never_o so_o long_o never_o so_o much_o never_o so_o grevious_o be_v count_v of_o god_n among_o they_o that_o suffer_v for_o righteousness_n sake_n that_o be_v of_o unfeigned_a love_n to_o righteousness_n wherefore_o that_o i_o may_v show_v you_o who_o may_v be_v say_v to_o suffer_v for_o righteousness_n sake_n i_o will_v propound_v and_o speak_v to_o several_a thing_n first_o then_o he_o that_o suffer_v in_o the_o apostle_n sense_n for_o well_o do_v or_o for_o righteousness_n sake_n set_v his_o face_n against_o nothing_o but_o sin_n in_o he_o resist_v unto_o blood_n strive_v against_o sin_n ●●_o sin_o be_v the_o object_n of_o his_o indignation_n because_o it_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o god_n and_o to_o his_o righteous_a cause_n be_v the_o world_n heb._n 12.4_o sin_n i_o say_v be_v that_o which_o such_o a_o man_n single_v out_o as_o his_o opposite_a as_o his_o antagonist_n and_o that_o against_o which_o his_o heart_n be_v set_v it_o be_v a_o rare_a thing_n to_o suffer_v a_o right_n and_o to_o have_v my_o spirit_n in_o my_o suffering_n bend_v only_o against_o god_n enemy_n sin_n sin_n in_o doctrine_n sin_n in_o worship_n sin_n in_o life_n sin_n in_o conversation_n now_o than_o he_o that_o suffer_v for_o righteousness_n sake_n have_v single_v out_o sin_n to_o pursue_v it_o to_o death_n long_o before_o he_o come_v to_o the_o cross_n it_o be_v sin_n alas_o and_o his_o hatred_n to_o it_o that_o have_v bring_v he_o into_o this_o condition_n he_o fall_v out_o with_o sin_n at_o home_n in_o his_o own_o house_n in_o his_o own_o heart_n before_o he_o fall_v out_o with_o sin_n in_o the_o world_n or_o with_o sin_n in_o public_a worship_n for_o he_o that_o can_v let_v sin_n go_v free_a and_o uncontrolled_a at_o home_n within_o let_v he_o suffer_v while_o he_o will_v he_o shall_v not_o suffer_v for_o righteousness_n sake_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o a_o righteous_a soul_n as_o the_o phrase_n be_v 2_o pet._n 2.8_o have_v the_o great_a antipathy_n against_o that_o sin_n that_o be_v most_o ready_a to_o defile_v it_o and_o that_o be_v as_o david_n call_v it_o one_o own_o iniquity_n or_o the_o sin_n that_o dwell_v in_o one_o own_o flesh_n i_o have_v keep_v i_o say_v he_o from_o my_o iniquity_n from_o my_o own_o sin_n people_z that_o be_v afraid_a of_o fire_n be_v concern_v most_o with_o that_o that_o burn_v in_o their_o own_o chimney_n they_o have_v the_o most_o watchful_a eye_n against_o that_o that_o be_v like_a to_o burn_v down_o their_o own_o house_n first_o he_o also_o that_o suffer_v for_o righteousness_n sake_n do_v it_o also_o because_o he_o will_v not_o that_o sin_n shall_v cleave_v to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o indeed_o this_o be_v most_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o godly_a they_o will_v not_o have_v to_o do_v with_o that_o worship_n that_o have_v sinful_a tradition_n commix_v with_o god_n appointment_n because_o they_o know_v that_o god_n be_v jealous_a of_o his_o worship_n and_o have_v give_v a_o strict_a charge_n that_o all_o thing_n be_v do_v according_a to_o the_o pattern_n show_v to_o we_o in_o the_o mount_n he_o know_v also_o that_o god_n will_v not_o be_v with_o that_o worship_n and_o those_o worshipper_n that_o have_v not_o regard_v to_o worship_v by_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o testament_n of_o christ._n he_o be_v also_o against_o the_o sin_n that_o be_v apt_a to_o cleave_v to_o himself_o while_o he_o stand_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n i_o will_v wash_v my_o hand_n in_o innocency_n so_o will_v i_o compass_v thy_o altar_n o_o lord_n this_o man_n also_o choose_v to_o be_v in_o the_o practical_a part_n of_o worship_n if_o possible_a for_o he_o know_v that_o to_o have_v to_o do_v about_o holy_a thing_n sincere_o be_v the_o way_n to_o be_v at_o the_o remote_a distance_n from_o sin_n he_o choose_v also_o to_o be_v with_o those_o holy_a one_o that_o be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n with_o he_o against_o sin_n for_o he_o know_v that_o two_o be_v better_o than_o one_o and_o that_o a_o threefold_a cord_n be_v not_o easy_o break_v wherefore_o look_v to_o yourselves_o you_o that_o do_v or_o may_v be_v call_v to_o suffer_v for_o religion_n if_o you_o bend_v not_o yourselves_o against_o sin_n if_o to_o be_v revenge_v of_o sin_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o your_o suffering_n you_o can_v be_v say_v
