Again, Every one suffers the burden of his calling, which is a great suffering, a man need not to whip himself as the Scottish Papists do, if he 1be but faithful in his calling; it is a notable means of mortification. God keeps a man from persecution many times, because he hath burdens in his calling to exercise him, he hath many crosses in his calling. God hath joined sweat to labour, and trouble, and pains, and there is no man that is faithful in his calling as he should be, but he shall find many crosses.

And then that which afflicts most of all, the affliction of all afflictions, the inward combat between the flesh & the spirit, which God usually takes up 1in persecution, and outward troubles: Gods dear children in persecution find little molestation from their corruptions, because God will not lay more upon them, then he will give them strength to bear; and now when he singles them out to outward crosses, he subdues their corruptions, that they do not vex them as before. ⟨p. 113⟩
