We
are

come
a
reproach
to
our neighbours,
a
[corne

to
them
that
are

me.
And
render
unto our neighbours fever.-
fold
into
their
bofome,
the
reproach wherewith they
have
reproa-
ched
thee,
O
Lord.
If
any
man
fuffer
for
your
fake
,
you ac-
count
your
felfe bound
to vindicate
him
;

Lrkeevi
fe the Spirit
alfo
helpeth our
in-
firmities,
for
we
know not
what
we
fhould
pray
for
as
we
ought,
bolt
the
Spirit it
felfe maketh
interceffion
for
us
with groanings,
which
cannot
be
uttered.
It
is
a
comfort
for
the
Lord to take
notice
of
your fufferings, when thou fufferell for
Chrifts
fake,
Chrit+ loves
thee,
he
hash
promifed to helpe thee hereafter,
'he bath helped
thee,
and
is
ingaged
to
helpe
thee,
for
it
is
for
his
fake
that thou fufferell.
Therefore
goe
on and account thy
felfe
blefièd
for
his
fake
;
Certainly
if
we
be willing
to
fur
for
his
fake,certainly
he
will be willing to
fuffer
for our
fakes
;
when thou
fufferet+ any
thing for
Chrifl,he
is
infinitely worthy,
he
is
worthy
of
all
that
thou haft, what hath he done for
thee,
bath
he
not
dune more
for
thee,
then
thou haft done for
him,
or
cant+
doe
for
him.

Further,a
very
great
ufe,Bleffed
are
thefe
that
have
all

f
(rely
for

fake
;
when
you
are
reproached
for
Chrifts
fake
you are
blefled,
but
when
Chri[l
is
reproached
for your fake,
Chrit+ now is
not
in
a way
ofmerit,
he
hath
finilhed the
work,
and
yet
for
all
that Chrifl
may have
fome
fuifering,
may have
fhame call
on
him even for thy
fake,
through thy wicked
and ungodly
life
;
why
this
is
a
curled
curfed thing, this
is
even
to
pull
Chrilt
downe
from heaven
to
fuffer
againe
:
why
did
not Chrift
fuffer enough, and wilt thou
have
him
to
fuffer for
thy
fake
more
?
do not
thou
adde to
his
fuffering,
but
filter
as
much
for
his fake
as
he
hath done
for
Thy
fake.
