Now it pleased the All-wise God to call the Primitive Christians to be Witnesses to His more Fundamental Truths that being done abundantly, it pleases Him now to call Us to be Witnesses to His Truths of inferior Nature. What then? shall we despise these Meaner ones, as not worth our Suffering for? let us take heed of that; None of them but are God's: None but in the Sequel are of infinite concernment: None but are more worth then all we are or have, yea then the whole World it self: None, but which in suffering for, we suffer for Christ Himself, who calls Himself the Truth. If then we suffer for Christ in suffering for His Meanest Truth, ¹we ought to be so far from excusing ourselves, or declining such suffering, as which were Interpretatively to Deny Christ, that we ought rather to comfort our selves in this behalf, that we are thought worthy any ways to suffer for Him.
