we_o answer_v again_o with_o the_o holy_a apostle_n that_o neither_o tribulation_n nor_o anguish_n nor_o hunger_n nor_o nakedness_n nor_o ieoperdy_o nor_o persecution_n nor_o sword_n shall_v be_v able_a ever_o to_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o christ._n we_o be_v slay_v all_o the_o day_n long_o we_o be_v make_v like_o sheep_n ordain_v to_o the_o shambles_n rom._n 8._o thus_o do_v we_o resemble_v christ_n our_o head_n which_o say_v that_o the_o disciple_n can_v be_v above_o his_o master_n nor_o the_o servant_n above_o his_o lord_n the_o same_o lord_n have_v also_o command_v that_o every_o one_o shall_v take_v up_o his_o cross_n and_o follow_v he_o luc._n 9_o rejoice_v rejoice_v my_o dear_a brethren_n &_o fellow_n servant_n &_o be_v of_o good_a comfort_n when_o you_o fall_v into_o sundry_a tentation_n let_v your_o patience_n be_v perfect_a on_o all_o part_n for_o so_o be_v it_o foreshow_v we_o before_o &_o be_v write_v that_o they_o which_o shall_v kill_v you_o shall_v think_v to_o do_v god_n good_a service_n therefore_o affliction_n &_o death_n be_v as_o token_n &_o sacrament_n of_o our_o election_n &_o life_n to_o come_v let_v we_o then_o be_v glad_a &_o sing_v to_o the_o lord_n when_o as_o we_o be_v clear_a from_o all_o just_a accusation_n be_v persecute_v &_o give_v to_o death_n for_o better_v it_o be_v that_o we_o in_o do_v well_o do_v suffer_v if_o it_o so_o be_v the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n then_o do_v evil_a 1._o pet._n 3._o we_o have_v for_o our_o example_n christ_n and_o the_o prophet_n which_o speak_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o the_o child_n of_o iniquity_n do_v quell_v and_o murder_v and_o now_o we_o bless_v and_o magnify_v they_o that_o then_o suffer_v let_v we_o be_v glad_a and_o joyous_a in_o our_o

not_o shrink_v from_o the_o true_a doctrine_n &_o knowledge_n of_o god_n &_o do_v not_o rid_v myself_o out_o of_o these_o trouble_n when_o with_o one_o word_n i_o may_v o_o the_o blindness_n of_o man_n which_o see_v not_o the_o sun_n shine_v neither_o remember_v the_o lord_n word_n consider_v therefore_o what_o he_o say_v you_o be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n a_o city_n build_v on_o the_o hill_n can_v be_v hide_v neither_o do_v man_n light_v a_o candle_n &_o put_v it_o under_o a_o bushel_n but_o upon_o a_o candlestick_n that_o it_o may_v shine_v and_o geve_v light_a to_o they_o in_o the_o house_n and_o in_o a_o other_o place_n he_o say_v you_o shall_v be_v lead_v before_o king_n &_o ruler_n fear_v you_o not_o they_o which_o kill_v the_o body_n but_o he_o which_o kill_v both_o body_n and_o soul_n who_o soever_o shall_v confess_v i_o before_o man_n he_o will_v i_o also_o confess_v before_o my_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o he_o that_o deny_v i_o before_o
