A LETTER. From JOHN NOYES to his Wife to comfort her at 〈…〉 Time as he lay in Prison.
WIFE, you desired me that I would send you some tokens that you might remember me. As I did read in the New Testament, I thought it good to write unto you certain places of the scripture for a remembrance. St. Peter saith, 1 Pet. ⟨p. 495⟩••. Dearly beloved, be not troubled with this […] come among you to try you, as though […] strange thing had happened unto you, but rejoice, insomuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings, that when his glory appeareth ye may be merry and glad. If ye be raised on for the name of Christ, happy are ye, for the Spirit of glory, and the Spirit of God resteth upon you.
