And although the punishment should be unjust, yet must we suffer it, until we can get some lawful remedy for the same. 1. Pet. 2.19. For it is thank-worthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 20. For what praise is it, if when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye take it patiently? but and if, when ye do well, ye suffer wrong, and take it patiently, this is acceptable to God.

III. Thankfulness in our prayers. 1. Tim. 2.1, 2. I exhort you therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings, & for all that be in authority, that we may lead a quiet & a peaceable life, in all godliness and honesty. 1. Tim. 5.17. Elders that rule well, are worthy of double honour. Gen. 45.9. Haste you, and go up to my Father, and tell him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord over all Egypt, come down to me, tarry not. 10. And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen. 11. Also I will nourish thee there, for yet remain five years of famine, least thou perish through poverty, thou and thy household, and all that thou hast.
