After he calleth him self partaker in affliction, or oppression and persecution, as he that was even now banished by the Emperor Domitian, and lived in exile. And he joineth together and not separateth him self in the evil: That is common to all the faithful brethren.1 And verily it is one and the same persecution, that vexed the Apostles, and tormenteth us at this day. Let us therefore rejoice, that we have the Apostles and all the Martyrs of Christ fellows of our trouble and affliction, that we be broken and bruised with the heavy burden of evils. Let us therefore be patient and long suffering. For it is not enough to be afflicted, and vexed with all kind of evils (for many without any fruit or praise at all endure most grievous pains.) But it becometh us also to be patient in adversity. Therefore S. John at this present joineth with all, patience. For the Lord said in the Gospel. In your patience shall you possess your souls.
