believer_n have_v cause_n to_o fear_v the_o power_n and_o cruelty_n of_o their_o enemy_n jesus_n christ_n say_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o murderer_n from_o the_o beginning_n the_o minister_n of_o satan_n be_v also_o liar_n and_o murderer_n like_o himself_o when_o they_o can_v seduce_v and_o wheedle_n a_o man_n into_o a_o error_n they_o persecute_v he_o and_o use_v their_o utmost_a endeavour_n to_o ruin_v he_o we_o read_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o devil_n make_v use_v of_o two_o great_a mean_n to_o endeavour_v to_o shake_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o elect._n to_o some_o he_o offer_v the_o glory_n and_o advantage_n of_o the_o world_n as_o he_o do_v to_o our_o saviour_n before_o other_o he_o spoil_v of_o their_o good_n deprive_v of_o their_o child_n and_o load_n with_o a_o thousand_o evil_n as_o he_o do_v job_n and_o his_o minister_n use_v just_a the_o very_a same_o method_n but_o as_o god_n will_v not_o have_v we_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v seduce_v by_o error_n and_o lie_n nor_o to_o be_v lead_v aside_o by_o the_o honour_n and_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n so_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n he_o will_v have_v we_o stand_v firm_a and_o impregnable_a against_o the_o power_n the_o injustice_n and_o cruelty_n of_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o truth_n he_o require_v of_o we_o to_o be_v always_o ready_a to_o suffer_v all_o sort_n of_o evil_n and_o misery_n for_o his_o service_n it_o be_v he_o that_o have_v give_v we_o all_o the_o good_a thing_n we_o enjoy_v in_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o he_o expect_v we_o shall_v be_v always_o dispose_v to_o part_v with_o they_o for_o his_o glory_n it_o be_v he_o that_o have_v give_v we_o our_o child_n and_o therefore_o he_o just_o require_v we_o shall_v submit_v to_o his_o will_n when_o he_o permit_v the_o enemy_n of_o his_o kingdom_n to_o deprive_v we_o of_o they_o he_o require_v we_o to_o deliver_v they_o up_o to_o the_o care_n of_o his_o wise_a providence_n when_o they_o stand_v in_o competition_n with_o our_o duty_n to_o god_n in_o fine_a it_o be_v he_o that_o have_v give_v we_o be_v life_n and_o motion_n and_o therefore_o he_o expect_v we_o shall_v be_v always_o prepare_v to_o suffer_v death_n for_o his_o service_n whenever_o he_o think_v fit_a to_o call_v we_o to_o such_o a_o trial_n in_o a_o word_n it_o be_v god_n that_o have_v give_v we_o all_o thing_n it_o be_v therefore_o very_o just_a that_o we_o shall_v love_v he_o above_o all_o thing_n he_o have_v create_v we_o for_o his_o own_o glory_n it_o be_v therefore_o very_o reasonable_a we_o shall_v glorify_v he_o both_o by_o our_o life_n and_o death_n jesus_n christ_n have_v suffer_v death_n for_o we_o it_o be_v very_o just_a then_o that_o we_o suffer_v something_o for_o the_o advancement_n of_o his_o kingdom_n our_o sin_n deserve_v the_o eternal_a flame_n of_o hell_n it_o be_v then_o a_o act_n of_o singular_a favour_n that_o god_n be_v content_v we_o shall_v but_o suffer_v a_o little_a trouble_n in_o this_o world_n for_o his_o holy_a name_n sake_n in_o fine_a the_o glory_n and_o happiness_n that_o he_o prepare_v for_o we_o in_o heaven_n be_v it_o not_o a_o sufficient_a recompense_n for_o all_o that_o we_o can_v lose_v and_o suffer_v for_o his_o service_n upon_o earth_n all_o thing_n due_o weigh_v say_v st._n paul_n i_o reckon_v the_o suffering_n of_o this_o present_a time_n be_v not_o
