Pen. Oh Lord let it be so, according to thy Word and Promise, thy will be done.
Wab. Well, wait here, and see if God doth not quiet your Soul, and give you rest. Mean while I will further ask you in the next words, Are you willing to take upon you Christ his yoke, and this yoke consisteth of two parts: 1. The yoke of Commandments, to do whatever he commandeth. And 2. his yoke of Sufferings in this world for his Name sake: for now that you are converted, the carnal world will hate you, mock you, injure you, speak all evil against you, and it may be if they can they will kill you▪ as they did Christ; but are you willing to suffer all for Jesus Christ his sake, who hath died for yo•? And further, are you willing to learn meekness of Jesus Christ? for they are the next words; and I ⟨p. 32⟩do assure you, that you will have great need of patience, when you have done all the duties he commands, to suffer patiently what God himself shall inflict upon you by sicknesses, crosses and temptations, or what wicked men shall inflict upon you.
