However, if you suffer in the cause of virtue, it is your happiness: and instead of being over-awed by their threats, and struck with concern, read more.
adore the Lord God in your hearts, and be ready to show with modesty and respect to every one that asks it, what ground there is for the expectations you have: always maintaining a good conscience, that instead of inveighing against you as evildoers, they may be cover'd with confusion, who traduce your virtuous behaviour as Christians. for since it is the will of heaven you should suffer, it is better you should suffer for your virtue, than for any crimes.
