“But, my brethren, he that would be a true
Christian, must put on Christ (Rom. 13:14), and
resemble him in his humble form while on earth,
and be of good cheer in everything which happens
to him in this world. No external semblance of loving
Christ, and of suffering for his name, avails
here; we must not be ashamed of him, who first
loved us (1 John 4:19), and gave himself for us to
an ignominious death. It is in truth not otherwise,
than that judgment must first begin at the house
of God. 1 Pet. 4:17. Thus the Holy Scripture is
now fulfilled, so that the punishment with which
the world is to be visited, is ready and at hand;
hence no one ought to be negligent; for the sword
is drawn, the bow is bent, the arrow laid upon it,
and aim is taken.

By this I do not mean that we are to seek any
other refuge, than to accept the chastisement of the
Father, as has been said above; by which he refines
us for that whereunto he has sealed us, that we may
be assured of the eternal and imperishable kingdom
with him, and forever to possess it with him in
life everlasting; to this may God strengthen us all.
Amen.”
