such_o distress_n shall_v ask_v and_o receive_v such_o wisdom_n from_o above_o not_o follow_v their_o carnal_a counsel_n to_o seek_v a_o way_n to_o escape_v as_o they_o say_v by_o any_o cross_n or_o by_o path_n there_o be_v also_o which_o reply_n that_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o answer_v not_o to_o they_o that_o ask_v of_o he_o but_o i_o say_v first_o of_o all_o that_o this_o serve_v not_o to_o abolish_v the_o rule_n which_o he_o have_v give_fw-ge we_o to_o make_v confession_n of_o our_o faith_n when_o we_o be_v thereto_o require_v second_o i_o say_v that_o he_o never_o dissemble_v too_o save_o his_o life_n three_o that_o he_o never_o give_v answer_n so_o doubtful_a that_o it_o do_v not_o import_v sufficient_a witness_n of_o that_o which_o he_o have_v speak_v or_o rather_o that_o he_o have_v not_o satify_v they_o already_o which_o come_v to_o ask_v he_o further_o as_o it_o be_v lay_v net_n to_o catch_v he_o wherefore_o let_v this_o point_n remain_v resolute_a among_o all_o christian_n that_o be_v that_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o account_v their_o life_n more_o dear_a than_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o truth_n inasmuch_o as_o god_n will_v be_v glorify_v in_o it_o be_v it_o in_o vain_a that_o he_o call_v all_o those_o witness_n for_o the_o word_n martyr_n signify_v the_o same_o that_o have_v answer_v to_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o faith_n be_v it_o not_o because_o he_o will_v have_v they_o serve_v too_o such_o purpose_n and_o here_o every_o one_o must_v not_o look_v to_o his_o fellow_n and_o companion_n for_o god_n do_v not_o show_v this_o honour_n to_o all_o to_o call_v they_o thereto_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v give_v to_o mark_v other_o the_o more_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v heed_n thereof_o 21.18_o john_n 21.18_o peter_n have_v hear_v at_o the_o mouth_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v lead_v in_o his_o old_a age_n whether_o he_o will_v not_o ask_v what_o shall_v become_v of_o john_n his_o companion_n there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o but_o he_o will_v willing_o make_v such_o a_o reply_n for_o this_o we_o imagine_v by_o and_o by_o why_o do_v i_o rather_o suffer_v than_o other_o but_o contrariwise_o jesus_n christ_n exhort_v all_o in_o general_n and_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a always_o to_o be_v ready_a to_o the_o end_n that_o as_o he_o shall_v call_v either_o one_o or_o other_o every_o man_n may_v march_v forth_o in_o his_o rank_n &_o order_n i_o have_v show_v before_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v ill_o appoint_v to_o suffer_v martyrdom_n unless_o that_o we_o be_v arm_v with_o god_n promise_n it_o remain_v now_o that_o we_o lie_v out_o a_o little_a more_o full_o whereto_o they_o tend_v not_o to_o specify_v all_o by_o piecemeal_o and_o exact_o but_o to_o show_v the_o principal_a thing_n that_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o hope_v for_o to_o the_o end_n to_o comfort_v we_o in_o our_o affliction_n now_o these_o be_v brief_o 3._o thing_n the_o first_o be_v that_o forasmuchas_fw-es our_o life_n and_o death_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n that_o he_o will_v in_o such_o sort_n preserve_v we_o by_o his_o power_n that_o not_o one_o hear_v of_o our_o head_n shall_v fall_v but_o by_o his_o licence_n wherefore_o the_o faithful_a aught_o to_o hold_v themselves_o assure_v into_o who_o hand_n soever_o they_o shall_v come_v that_o god_n have_v not_o cast_v of_o the_o safeguard_n which_o he_o have_v of_o their_o person_n if_o such_o a_o persuasion_n be_v well_o imprint_v in_o our_o heart_n we_o shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o the_o most_o part_n of_o doubt_n and_o perplexity_n that_o torment_n and_o hinder_v we_o from_o do_v our_o duty_n we_o see_v that_o tyrant_n be_v let_v loose_a and_o hereuppon_o it_o seem_v to_o we_o that_o god_n have_v no_o further_o mean_v too_o save_v we_o for_o this_o cause_n we_o be_v tempt_v to_o provide_v for_o ourselves_o as_o though_o there_o be_v no_o more_o wait_v upon_o he_o but_o contrariwise_o his_o providence_n which_o he_o have_v declare_v unto_o we_o be_v such_o as_o aught_o to_o be_v unto_o we_o a_o invincible_a fortress_n let_v we_o therefore_o labour_v to_o learn_v this_o short_a sentence_n that_o our_o body_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n who_o have_v create_v they_o for_o this_o cause_n he_o have_v sometime_o deliver_v his_o own_o after_o a_o miraculous_a manner_n and_o beyond_o all_o hope_n of_o man_n as_o sidrach_n misach_n and_o abednago_n from_o the_o fiery_a furnace_n daniel_n from_o the_o lion_n den_n peter_n from_o herodes_n prison_n where_o he_o be_v enchain_v fetter_v and_o keep_v so_o straight_o by_o these_o example_n he_o will_v testify_v unto_o we_o that_o he_o hold_v our_o enemy_n bridle_v though_o it_o seem_v not_o so_o &_o have_v power_n to_o draw_v we_o out_o even_o from_o the_o mouth_n &_o midst_n of_o death_n when_o he_o wil._n not_o because_o he_o always_o do_v it_o but_o by_o keep_v unto_o himself_o the_o authority_n of_o dispose_n of_o we_o both_o in_o life_n and_o death_n he_o will_v have_v we_o full_o resolve_v that_o he_o have_v we_o in_o his_o keep_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o whether_o soever_o tyrant_n look_n or_o with_o what_o fury_n soever_o they_o rush_v upon_o we_o that_o it_o be_v from_o he_o only_o who_o be_v the_o orderer_n of_o our_o life_n if_o he_o suffer_v tyrant_n to_o kill_v we_o it_o be_v not_o because_o our_o life_n be_v not_o dear_a unto_o he_o and_o in_o great_a recommendation_n a_o hundred_o fold_n than_o it_o be_v worthy_a see_v it_o be_v so_o that_o he_o have_v pronounce_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o david_n 26.21_o psal_n 116.15_o esay_n 26.21_o that_o the_o death_n of_o his_o saint_n be_v precious_a before_o he_o &_o say_v also_o by_o the_o mouth_n esay_n that_o the_o earth_n shall_v disclose_v the_o blood_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v hide_v let_v the_o enemy_n therefore_o of_o the_o gospel_n be_v as_o prodigal_a in_o shed_v the_o blood_n of_o his_o martyr_n as_o they_o will_v yet_o shall_v they_o render_v a_o terrible_a account_v even_o too_o the_o last_o and_o uttermost_a drop_n they_o do_v scornful_o mock_v at_o this_o day_n when_o they_o burn_v the_o faithful_a &_o after_o they_o have_v bathe_v themselves_o in_o their_o blood_n they_o be_v so_o drunken_a therewith_o that_o they_o care_v nothing_o at_o all_o what_o murder_v they_o commit_v but_o if_o we_o have_v patience_n too_o wait_v god_n will_v show_v in_o the_o end_n that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a that_o he_o have_v set_v such_o a_o high_a prize_n upon_o our_o life_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n if_o he_o do_v we_o no_o evil_n that_o it_o serve_v to_o ratify_v his_o gospel_n which_o in_o worthiness_n surmount_v heaven_n &_o earth_n and_o the_o better_a to_o assure_v we_o that_o god_n leave_v we_o not_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o tyrant_n as_o have_v forsake_v we_o let_v we_o call_v too_o mind_n the_o sentence_n of_o jesus_n christ_n where_o he_o say_v 9.4_o act._n 9.4_o that_o it_o be_v he_o who_o they_o persecute_v in_o his_o member_n god_n have_v well_o say_v before_o by_o zacharie_n 2.8_o zach._n 2.8_o he_o that_o touch_v you_o touch_v the_o apple_n of_o my_o eye_n but_o this_o be_v yet_o more_o plain_a that_o if_o we_o suffer_v for_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v as_o if_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v there_o in_o his_o own_o person_n wherefore_o let_v we_o know_v that_o jesus_n christ_n must_v forget_v himself_o if_o he_o shall_v not_o think_v of_o we_o when_o we_o be_v in_o prison_n or_o in_o danger_n of_o death_n for_o his_o cause_n and_o let_v we_o know_v that_o god_n take_v to_o his_o own_o heart_n all_o the_o outrage_n that_o tyrant_n do_v unto_o we_o as_o if_o they_o be_v fasten_v to_o his_o own_o son_n let_v we_o come_v too_o the_o second_o point_n that_o god_n in_o his_o promise_n have_v set_v forth_o unto_o we_o for_o our_o consolation_n that_o be_v that_o he_o will_v so_o sustain_v we_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o our_o enemy_n whatsoever_o they_o do_v or_o satan_n their_o head_n yet_o shall_v they_o not_o get_v the_o upper_a hand_n over_o us._n and_o in_o deed_n we_o see_v how_o he_o display_v his_o grace_n in_o such_o a_o need_n for_o such_o invincible_a constancy_n as_o be_v in_o the_o true_a martyr_n be_v a_o sufficient_a show_n that_o god_n work_v mighty_o in_o they_o there_o be_v two_o grievous_a thing_n to_o the_o flesh_n in_o persecution_n too_o wit_n the_o one_o the_o rebuke_n and_o shame_n of_o man_n and_o the_o other_o the_o torment_n that_o the_o body_n endure_v but_o god_n promise_v we_o such_o assistance_n that_o through_o patience_n we_o shall_v overcome_v both_o the_o one_o &_o the_o other_o and_o he_o perform_v indeed_o that_o which_o he_o have_v promise_v unto_o us._n
