But and if ye suffer for righteousnesse sake] Matthew 5:10. happie are ye] Matthew 10:28. James 1:12. 1 Peter 4:14. be not afraid] Isaiah 8:12-13. He means that kinde of fear and trouble of minde wherewith wicked men fear in times of trouble, that is, with a fear without patience and trust in God, and such as is accompanied with consternation and amazement, so that they know not which way to turn themselves. See Isaiah 7:2. Matthew 2:3. John 14. 1. and 16. 1.
