Secondly, Let your Call be clear: It's not amiss to have a good cause without a Call: some may suffer for the cause of God, and yet sin in suffering for want of a Call. Christ calls not all to suffer; to some it is given, to others it is not: if thy Call be clear, thy Peace will be sweet, though thy sufferings be never so great. But you will say, how shall I know when I am called to suffer?
Answ. 1. When Truth suffers by our silence, then are we called to suffer.?
2. When our lives will be the denial of Christ, then are we called to deny our lives for Christ.
3. When sin and suffering surrounds us that we cannot get out, but we must either run through sin or suffering, then I may safely conclude, That Christ calleth me to suffer, and in this cause we may expect the peace and sweetness of his presence.
