It implies a Constancy or Perseverance unto the end for if we have forsaken Christ at any time we have at the same time disown'd him and put our Names out of the List of his Martyrs It implies Sincerity for what can possibly shew the Reality of our Love to and Affiance in Christ if Real Pain and Voluntary Suffering cannot do it To conclude It implies withal an Vniversal Obedience for as I have noted before the Man that allows of any one Sin is a profest Enemy of Christ not a Martyr of His not a Sufferer for Him But that which puts the Reward of Suffering out of all doubt is the Word of God in the most plain express Terms that can be devis'd If you suffer you shall also reign with Christ said the Apostle Blessed are they that are Persecuted for Righteousness sake for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven said our Saviour himself And many other Texts there are to the same purpose as clear as Words can make them and withal so commonly known that I shall not trouble you with the repetition of them but rather chuse to hasten to 2.
