Would we be conquerors with him? let us then fight whiles we are in the wars. And if we would be partakers of all his benefits we must abide all the miseries which he will have us bear in this world.1 For as Saint Paul saith, if we be partakers of his sufferings, we shall also be partakers of his joys.
Would wée bée conquerours with him? let vs thē fight whiles wée are in the warres. And if we would be partakers of al his benefits we must abide all the miseries which he will haue vs beare in this world.1 For as Saint Paul saith, if we bee partakers of his sufferinges, we shall also be partakers of his ioyes.
Behold, Jesus Christ now sitteth in his glorious throne, into whose hand all things are put: But how behaved he himself in this world before he came to it? what numbers of afflictions suffered he? surely he was so afflicted, as that his life was thought to be accursed: for, he was continually tormented all his life long: and in the end, we see that he suffered the most cruel death, that was possibly to be devised, and that which is more, it seemed that God his father had forsaken him, in that he suffered him to be thus condemned by the world. Here then we are to consider, that if we intend to enter into this immortal glory, we must bear his cross in this present life.
