For when he first came unto our Lord Jesus Christ, he kept himself very covert and close, and was afeard to show himself a true Disciple (for we know that the confession of our faith is required in us)1 But when he came to ⟨p. 84⟩bury him, he declared, and confessed that he was of the number of the faithful company. Wherefore since he did so, let us at this day follow his constancy. And although the world hateth and detesteth our Lord Jesus Christ and the doctrine of his Gospel, yet let us stick unto it. Let us also understand, that the greatest benefit and contentation that we can continually have is this, whenas God accepteth and liketh of our service, and besides, although we must suffer & abide troubles here in this world, yet let us know this that because he hath gloriously risen again, that he did it not to the end to make a separation between him and us, but that he would when he see his good time gather us unto him self.
