In-Text	and for them that suffer hardship for Righteousness sake; that is to say (in fewer words,) for them alone that Love Christ, and that keep his Commandments. When he compares the Kingdom of Heaven unto a Treasure hid in a Field, (though perhaps it may be found for little or no Cost at all, ) yet he tells us that all must be sold to buy it, Mat. 13. 44, Whatsoever that Treasure shall stand us in, be it our Pleasures, or Reputations, be it our Livelyhoods, or our Lives, 'tis plain the Master of the Treasure is still to have his own Asking; and if we resolve upon the Iewel, we must not stand upon the Price. When our Master does vouchsafe to liken himself unto a Merchant, and Eternity in a Parable is put to sale; Love and Obedience are the two Talents, wherewith Eternity is to be Purchac't, Not that the Iewel is worth so little, but the Merchant exacts no more. That is to say, (without a parable) Love and Obedience are the Conditions, on which the Promises are made. And obedience is the Criterion, by which alone we are enabled to know our Love. So that as soon as a wealthy Ruler put this Question to our Saviour, [ What shall I do, that I may inherit Eternal life? ] our Saviour gave him this in answer;	and for them that suffer hardship for Righteousness sake; that is to say (in fewer words,) for them alone that Love christ, and that keep his commandments.
