Those glorious truths against Popish justification, mixing of works with faith, Transubstantiation, Purgatory, Idol-worship, against all those things that were superadded contrary to God's Institution, there is such a glory upon the truths, that is hard for the Popish power ever to darken them again, because we see them written in the honourable and blessed scars of the witnesses, and burnings of those glorious Martyrs. If you would take one another by the hand, when God takes away our faithful Guides, and say, Brethren, Sisters, Friends, come let us hold together; there's no way in the world to hold on together like suffering; for the Gospel really would get more advantage by the holy, humble, sufferings of one gracious Saint, merely for the Word of Righteousness, than by ten thousand Arguments used against Heretics, and false Worship. Compare Phil. 1 12, 13, 14. with the 27, 28, and 29. verses. How are Pauls bonds a furtherance of the Gospel? Paul no doubt was called an evil doer, that sowed Heresy, and was hated every where; (saith he) Many of the Brethren of the Lord waxed confident by my bounds, and were much more bold to speak the Word without fear. Here's the great encouragement: and that's in the 27. verse, and he speaks it as one that was leaving of them, Only let your Conversation he as becometh the Gospel of Christ, that you may stand fast in one spirit, with one mind, striving together for the faith of the ⟨image 144⟩Gospel, and in nothing terrified by your Adversaries, for unto you it is given, not only to believe, but also to suffer, &c. It is given to you as a duty, given to you as a privilege. O that you would confirm one another, and in slippery times hold up one another by the hand; do it in going after Gods call, and in this way, suffering for those truths you cannot otherwise hold and maintain.
