for_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o suffer_v as_o evil_a doer_n but_o i_o pray_v tell_v i_o when_o do_v any_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n suffer_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n but_o there_o be_v such_o gloss_n as_o these_o say_v haman_n these_o be_v a_o rebellious_a people_n and_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o king_n profit_n to_o suffer_v they_o and_o so_o when_o christ_n himself_o suffer_v he_o be_v not_o a_o friend_n to_o caesar_n but_o a_o enemy_n well_o then_o come_v the_o apostle_n and_o when_o the_o apostle_n come_v what_o a_o guise_n be_v put_v upon_o their_o suffering_n these_o be_v seditious_a and_o th●se_a that_o turn_v the_o world_n upside-down_a be_v come_v hither_o and_o do_v not_o you_o find_v in_o scripture_n and_o experience_n that_o it_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n for_o man_n to_o persecute_v religion_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o religion_n say_v christ_n for_o which_o of_o my_o good_a work_n go_v you_o about_o to_o kill_v i_o no_o no_o thou_o be_v mistake_v we_o go_v not_o about_o to_o kill_v thou_o for_o thy_o good_a work_n but_o because_o thou_o break_v the_o sabbath_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o it_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n to_o

if_o you_o do_v suffer_v for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n upon_o your_o heart_n the_o work_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v wrought_v upon_o your_o heart_n if_o you_o do_v

which_o christ_n have_v purchase_v for_o you_o than_o you_o do_v suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o three_o if_o you_o do_v suffer_v for_o the_o worship_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o

the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o all_o nation_n go_v forth_o in_o the_o name_n of_o their_o god_n now_o if_o you_o do_v suffer_v for_o the_o worship_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o jewish_a worship_n from_o antichristian_a worship_n from_o worldly_a worship_n than_o you_o do_v plain_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n the_o worship_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o way_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v national_a but_o the_o worship_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o gospel_n be_v congregational_a the_o worship_n of_o christ_n be_v distinguish_v from_o antichristian_a worship_n for_o that_o be_v humane_a and_o by_o humane_a invention_n but_o the_o worship_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v divine_a and_o from_o heaven_n the_o worship_n of_o christ_n be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o world_n for_o that_o be_v pompous_a that_o be_v ceremonious_a a_o carnal_a worship_n like_o unto_o the_o world_n itself_o but_o the_o worship_n jesus_n christ_n be_v plain_a and_o simple_a such_o worshipper_n do_v the_o father_n seek_v as_o worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n now_o if_o you_o do_v suffer_v for_o the_o worship_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o jew_n antichrist_n and_o of_o the_o world_n than_o you_o do_v certain_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n four_o if_o you_o do_v suffer_v for_o the_o not-doing_a of_o that_o which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v justify_v his_o own_o disciple_n for_o the_o not_o do_v of_o then_o do_v you_o suffer_v for_o the_o gospel_n and_o so_o for_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n now_o look_v into_o the_o 15_o of_o matth._n and_o you_o shall_v see_v what_o christ_n do_v justify_v his_o disciple_n in_o and_o the_o scribe_n and_o the_o pharisee_n come_v to_o christ_n and_o they_o say_v unto_o he_o why_o do_v thy_o disciple_n transgress_v the_o tradition_n of_o the_o elder_n what_o be_v that_o for_o they_o wash_v not_o their_o hand_n when_o they_o

they_o in_o it_o but_o this_o be_v hatch_v with_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o elder_n of_o the_o church_n and_o sure_o they_o will_v not_o stand_v off_o now_o yes_o that_o they_o do_v and_o christ_n justify_v they_o in_o it_o for_o christ_n say_v why_o do_v you_o also_o transgress_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n by_o your_o tradition_n so_o that_o if_o you_o do_v suffer_v for_o not_o do_v that_o which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v justify_v his_o disciple_n for_o the_o not_o do_v of_o than_o you_o suffer_v for_o the_o gospel_n and_o for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n five_o if_o two_o thing_n be_v lay_v before_o you_o and_o there_o be_v sin_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n there_o be_v suffer_v for_o christ_n sin_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o suffer_v on_o the_o other_o if_o now_o you_o choose_v rather_o to_o take_v up_o the_o suffering_n the●_n to_o commit_v the_o sin_n you_o do_v plain_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o look_v whatsoever_o the_o reward_n be_v that_o great_a reward_n be_v which_o they_o shall_v have_v that_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n all_o that_o reward_n be_v you_o be_v of_o good_a

to_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o you_o will_v say_v to_o i_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v that_o we_o may_v be_v willing_a to_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n for_o i_o confess_v i_o be_o very_o backward_o and_o unwilling_a to_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n do_v you_o say_v so_o but_o it_o may_v be_v you_o be_v not_o convince_v that_o it_o be_v for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n but_o be_v you_o sensible_a of_o your_o unwillingness_n why_o i_o use_v to_o say_v this_o he_o be_v not_o far_o from_o a_o grace_n that_o be_v sensible_a of_o a_o contrary_a

he_o be_v not_o far_o from_o be_v willing_a to_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v sensible_a of_o his_o own_o unwillingness_n but_o now_o suppose_v that_o for_o the_o present_a you_o be_v very_o unwilling_a to_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n you_o may_v know_v this_o that_o willingness_n to_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n be_v part_n of_o our_o

the_o name_n of_o christ_n be_v part_n of_o our_o suffer_a grace_n and_o therefore_o when_o you_o come_v upon_o the_o suffer_a ground_n than_o you_o shall_v have_v the_o suffer_a grace_n i_o but_o you_o will_v say_v indeed_o i_o find_v my_o heart_n extreme_o backward_o to_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n what_o shall_v i_o do_v

thereunto_o it_o be_v say_v our_o saviour_n christ_n he_o witness_v a_o good_a confession_n before_o pontius_n pilate_n pray_v what_o kind_n of_o witness_n be_v it_o be_v it_o any_o long_a

when_o they_o call_v he_o to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o the_o doctrine_n that_o he_o hold_v be_v thou_o the_o king_n of_o the_o jew_n then_o he_o own_v it_o he_o leave_v they_o to_o prove_v the_o
