| “SEEING THEN THAT WE ARE COMPASSED ABOUT WITH SO GREAT A         |
| CLOUD OF WITNESSES, LET US LAY ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT AND THE        |
| SIN WHICH DOTH SO EASILY BESET US, AND LET US RUN WITH PATIENCE  |
| THE RACE THAT IS SET BEFORE US, LOOKING UNTO JESUS, THE AUTHOR   |
| AND PERFECTER OF OUR FAITH, WHO FOR THE JOY THAT WAS SET BEFORE  |
| HIM ENDURED THE CROSS, DESPISING THE SHAME.”                     |
