Eighthly, did even Christ suffer? then we should evermore arm our selves with the same mind, and provide to suffer in the flesh, 1. Pet. 4.1. It is a shame for us to expect, or desire a life of ease and prosperity, seeing the Prince of our salvation was consecrated through afflictions, Heb. 2.10. and 12.3. And the more should we be confirmed to suffer in willingness in this life, because God hath predestinated us to be conformed to the image of his Son in sufferings, Rom. 8.29.

Lastly, in that it was Christ that suffered, we may hence gather comfort to our selves in his passion, all the days of our life, because his sufferings must needs be of infinite merit, being the sufferings of him that is God as well as man.
