When he makes his sufferings, the matter of his joy and thanksgiving; when he rejoices and praises God, that he is counted worthy to suffer in any kind for Christs sake. 3. When he doubles his diligence in duty upon this account; thus did the Apostles glorify God, for suffering, Phil. 1.29. Act. 5.41, 42.
