§. 125. Of enduring evill deeds.

THe other particular wherein these Hebewes were made a gazing stock, is said to be a 1.1 afflictions. The word properly signifieth a pressure, or a pressing, namely of the body, (for a man after he hath killed the body hath no more that he can do, Luke* 1.2 12. 4.) 2 Cor. 1. 6. The (b) noun is translated affliction, Mark 13. 19. tribulation, Matth. 24. 21. persecution, Acts 11. 19. trouble, 1 Cor. 7. 28. and other like press•…•…res.

This distinguished from the former of reproaches, giveth Christians to under∣stand, that they must look for heavy stroaks as well as bitter words, here in this world. So it befell our head, as he despised the shame, so he endured the Crosse, Heb. 12. 2 Christ foretold thus much concerning his Disciples, Matth. 10. 17, 18. The history of all ages, and experience of our times, demonstrate as much.

The malice of adversaries of the truth is unsatiable; They think, they have ne∣ver done enough, till they have done the uttermost that they can in word and deed.

We may from hence learne to prepare our selves for more and greater afflictions then words are: and by this extent of enduring, to shew that the spirit of the Lord Christ is in us. Indeed our weake bodies are sensible of pressures and oppressions: but to prepare against them will the better enable us to endure them.
