I fay- that nothing is more foothing to him, than the remembrance of the paft ; of his fufFerings, of his mortifications, oi all the trials which he has undergone.
Yes, my brethren, it appears frightful to you at prefent to fufFer for God. The fmalleft exertions upon yourfelves required by religion, feem to overpower you ; you con- fider as unhappy thofe who bear the yoke of Jefus Chrift, and who, to pleafe him, renounce the world, and all its charms. But on the bed of death, the moft foothing ...re- fleftion to a faithful foul, is the remembrance of what he has fuffercd for his God. He then comprehends all the merit of penitence, and how abfurd men are, to difpute with God, a moment of conflraint, which will be entitled to the recompenfe of a felicity without end, and without meafure. For then, his confolation is, that he has facrifi- ced only the gratifications of a moment, of which there would only remain to him now, the confufion and the Ihame ; that whatever he might have fufFered for the world, would in this moment be loft to him ; on the contrary, that the fmalleft fuffering for God, a tear, a mortification, a vain pleafure facrificed, an improper defire reprefTed, will never be forgotten, but fhall laft as long as God him- felf.
