this_o religious_a place_n and_o office_n to_o recommend_v to_o you_o from_o among_o his_o many_o other_o virtue_n that_o one_o virtue_n of_o his_o divine_a patience_n which_o he_o can_v learn_v from_o no_o other_o principle_n but_o his_o religion_n to_o this_o purpose_n i_o have_v choose_v to_o speak_v on_o these_o word_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n wherein_o he_o propose_v persecution_n which_o to_o nature_n seem_v the_o great_a evil_n to_o be_v the_o great_a good_a such_o as_o all_o his_o disciple_n ought_v not_o only_o to_o endure_v well_o as_o a_o necessary_a burden_n but_o to_o

the_o only_a qualification_n that_o can_v make_v it_o to_o be_v so_o it_o must_v be_v a_o persecution_n for_o rightneousness_n sake_n three_o the_o great_a reason_n why_o it_o be_v a_o blessing_n

in_o my_o text_n as_o a_o common_a place_n of_o divinity_n it_o will_v neither_o agree_v with_o the_o present_a temper_n of_o your_o mind_n or_o my_o own_o to_o treat_v of_o it_o in_o such_o cold_a and_o general_a term_n but_o what_o i_o shall_v say_v on_o this_o great_a and_o primitive_a doctrine_n of_o christianity_n shall_v be_v only_o so_o much_o as_o you_o may_v apply_v to_o the_o present_a
