Inference 3.

:1585p. 416

¹Lastly, Let us all imitate our pattern Christ, and labour for meek forgiving spirits. I shall only propose two inducements to it. The honour of Christ, and your own peace. Two dear things indeed, to a Christian. His glory is more than your life, and all that you enjoy in this world. O do not expose it to the scorn and derision of his enemies. Let them not say, how is Christ a Lamb, when his followers are Lyons? How is the Church a Dove, that smites and scratches like a bird of prey? Consult also the quiet of your own spirits. What is life worth, without the comfort of life? What comfort can you have in all that you do possess in the world, as long as you have not the possession of your own souls? If your spirits be full of tumult and revenge, the spirit of Christ will grow a stranger to you. That Dove delights in clean and quiet breasts. O then imitate Christ in this excellency also.
