Corollary 1.
1Hath Christ by Death delivered his people from the wrath to come? How ingrate and disingenuous a thing must it be then for those that have obtained such a deliverance as this, to repine and gru•ge at those light afflictions they suffer for a moment upon Christs account in this world!

- 1Cor. 1.
Alas! What are these sufferings, that we should grudge at them? Are they like those which the Redeemer suffered for our deliverance? Did ever any of us endure for him, what he endured for us? Or is there any thing you can suffer for Christ in this world, comparable to this wrath to come, which you must have endured, had he not by the price of his own blood rescued you from it?
