Never doubt; Sufferings will come on fast enough: Satan is not Asleep: His Children and Factors, every where, as of Old, Fill the Country. But then, though the Persecutors will Perfidiously Invent and Pretend other Causes, for the Sufferings which they Inflict upon the Faithful, and will not own, that it is directly for such and such Points of Religion, that they molest them, yet if the True Cause that lies at the Bottom of all the Molestations which their Adversaries give them, ⟨p. 90⟩really is, Their Godliness and Usefulness, and their Significant Appearance as Witnesses for GOD and CHRIST, and Instruments of his Kingdom, they THEN Suffer for the Lord JESUS CHRIST, in all that is done unto them.
