It is therefore needful and behovefull, not only in regard of 1Christs honour, but also of our own glory and happiness, that here while we live on earth we be sanctified and cleansed. If Christ for our sakes had an eye at our future and everlasting glory, and for that end prepared means to bring us thereunto, ought not we ourselves much rather have an eye thereat, and both avoid all things which may hinder it, and use all means whereby we may be assured of it? Moses had respect unto the recompense of the reward. Yea Christ for the joy which 2was set before him endured the cross, and despised the shame.
