Secondly, The Lord gives us, as strength to do, so to suffer, strength to bear his cross as well as his yoke: so the Apostle comforts the Corinthians (1 Ep: 10.13.) No temptation (that is, no affliction, for as every temptation hath trouble in it, and is therefore justly called an affliction, so every affliction hath a trial in it, and is therefore justly called a temptation, in which sense the Apostle there saith, no temptation) hath taken hold of you, but that which is common to man, but God is faithful that will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but with the temptation will make a way of escape, that ye may be able to bear it. As if he had said; be not afraid that you shall be oppressed with the burden of any affliction or temptation which ye endure in my cause or for my name sake; for ye shall receive an ability commensurable to your affliction, whatsoever it is; you shall be supported in those afflictions which are immediately from the hand of God, much more in those which are from the hand of man, even in the ⟨p. 348⟩extremest and hottest persecutions. Paul had experience of this (2 Tim. 4.17.) There he tells a sad story of the fearfulness if not of the unfaithfulness of men, even of good men to him in an evil day, and he tells as comfortable a story of the presence and faithfulness of God to him in an evil day, even in the worst and blackest day that this world could lower upon him in. At my first answer, no man stood with me (that is, no man appeared to strengthen, to comfort me) all men forsook me, I pray God it be not laid to their charge, (What then? was he left of all, because left of all men, no such matter, All men left him, but God who is but one One-most God, and who alone is more then all men abode by him, as it follows in the Text) notwithstanding the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the Lyon; that is, out of the danger of my deadly persecutors, even out of the danger of Nero himself, by whose power so many had been destroyed. The Lord always stands by his in time of affliction and trial, either to strengthen them in it, or to strengthen them out of it, that is, to escape it; either to deliver them from the danger of it, or to encourage them in the dangers of it.

Secondly, The Lord gives us, as strength to doe, so to suffer, strength to beare his crosse as well as his yoake: so the Apostle comforts the Corinthians (1 Ep: 10.13.) No temptation (that is, no affliction, for as every temptation hath trouble in it, and is therefore justly called an affliction, so every affliction hath a tryall in it, and is therefore justly called a temptation, in which sence the Apostle there saith, no temptation) hath taken hold of you, but that which is common to man, but God is faithfull that will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but with the temptation will make a way of escape, that ye may be able to beare it. As if he had sayd; be not afrayd that you shall be oppressed with the burden of any affliction or temptation which ye endure in my cause or for my name sake; for ye shall receive an ability commensarable to your affliction, whatsoever it is; you shall be supported in those afflictions which are immediately from the hand of God, much more in those which are from the hand of man, even in the
