¹HE THAT receiveth not my cross, and followeth not me, is not worthy of me.² If any will come after me, let him forsake him self, and take his cross, and follow me. For he that will save his soul, shall lose it. Contrariwise, he that leseth his soul for my sake shall find it. He that will confess me before men, I will confess him before my father.³ I am afflicted and persecuted for the gospel, as a wicked doer. John bare the cross for the truth sake. So the Apostles rejoiced, because they were counted worthy. So Daniel. For christian men are hated of the world, and despised in this world. Therefore this world knoweth not⁴ ⟨image 60⟩you, for because it knew not him: which speak ill of you.⁵ The servant is not above his lord: All they which will live godly.
