By the daily crosses we suffer as men, not for Religion, we are much bettered: and those in some sort may be called the sufferings of Christ: because by them we are conformed to Christ more in holiness, we grow more out of love with the World, and more heavenly minded. This distinction is necessary to know which are best, the sufferings of Christians as good men.

It is a point I say of wondrous comfort, that we should be conformable 1in our sufferings with our Head Christ Jesus, our Glorified head in heaven, is it not a wondrous comfort? Nay is it not a glory? It is a wondrous glory that God will set us apart to do any thing, that God will take any thing of us, much more that he will single us out to be Champions in his quarrel, and more, that he will triumph in us that the comfort shall abound.
