In Labours more abundant, in PRISONS MORE FREQVENT, in Deaths oft, in journeying often, in Perils of Waters, in Perils of Robbers, in Perils by mine own Countrymen, in Perils in the City, in Perils in the Sea, in Perils among false Brethren: In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. Lo here's the shade, but not heroic mind, And public soul of him, who most unkind, Unjust Restraints, Bonds, Pressures hath sustained From foes and friends; because he still maintained Religion, Truth, laws, Freedom, justice, Right, His country's common good, with his whole might, In all Ill Times; and ne'er would once combine With Lawless Grandees, these to undermine. 2 TIM. 3. 10, 11, 12. 13. But thou hast fully known my Doctrine, manner of Life, Purpose, Faith, Long-suffering, Charity, Patience, Persecutions, Afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra, what Persecutions I endured: But out of them all the Lord delivered me; yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer Persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. LONDON, Printed for Edward Thomas, 1659.
