But then thirdly, these above all other people that suffer for the Name of Christ: these are those people that are firm and fast unto God. God loves a fixed Spirit. God doth not love to see a man unsettled in points of Religion. Now when a man will leave a worldly interest for the Cause of Christ, and the Name of Christ, there's a fixation in such a man. And therefore he of all other people shall be well rewarded.

Antichrist: Antichrist is the Grand Enemy of Jesus Christ. Now these that suffer for the Name of Christ, are most opposed by the Grand Enemy of Christ: And Christ will be sure to love them that are most opposed by his Grand Enemy.
