Inference 7.
1From the whole of Christs Humiliation in his life, learn you to pass through all the troubles of your life with a contented composed spirit as Christ your forerunner did. He was persecuted, and ⟨p. 249⟩bare it meekly. Poor, and never murmured. Tempted, and never yielded to the Temptation. Reviled, and Reviled not again. When ye therefore pass through any of these trials, look to Jesus, and consider him. See how he that passed through those things before you, managed himself in like circumstances; yea, not only beat the way by his pattern and example for you, but hath in every one of those conditions left a blessing behind him for them that follow in his steps.
