Postscript.
I Should have proceeded to raise two Consectaries from this Doctrine: One whereof is, That Adversity is a safer Condition for a Christian man, then Prosperity: Answerably whereunto, our Saviour bids us take up our Cross. The Other is like unto it: That Subjection and Obedience is a far safer Condition for a Christian man, then Sovereignty and command; Answerably whereunto, our Saviour bids us, Follow Him. But this Adventure must wait another Tide.
