their Trophe What a death then is this that hath done such things 〈◊〉 all the liuing could not doe What matchlesse power is this that hath wrought such incredible things by weaknesse by contempt by the folly of preaching What base meanes is this to bring down highest Powers Principalities Thrones and Dominions And how comes it to passe that these conquerors at last glorie to dye for him who dyed such a cursed and shamefull death but that they know hee liueth and reigneth for euer and thereby they hauing liued heere by grace in him and dyed witnessing for him should bee brought to liue and
