Object. How may wee be encouraged and strengthened against the feares of persecution?
Solu. I answer, First pray to God, that he will furnish you with suffering graces, against persecuting times, Colos. 1.9.10, 11. Secondly improve your interest through Christ in the promises, and believe, that the more sufferings for Christ, the more comfort by Christ, 2 Cor. 1.5. The more sufferings the more holiness, Heb. 12.10. The more sufferings the more happiness: 1 Pet. 4.14. Only take heed of suffering as an evil doer, verses 15.16. And if any suffer as a Christian, Christ will suffer with him,
