And there should be no greater coumfort to christian persons, then to be made lyke unto Christ, by sufferyng paciently adversities, troubles, and sickenesses. For he himselfe wente not up to joy, but firste he suffered payne: he entred not into his glory, before he was crucified. So truely our waye to eternall joy is to suffre here with Christe, and our doore to entre into eternal life: is gladly to dye with Christe, that we may ryse againe from death, and dwell with him in everlasting life.
