be made hote in to the which after they war made hote and set on fire he commaunded that he which had furst spoken and had most prouoked the king to anger thorowe the constancy of godlines and faithe should be throwen in the fried But they furste plucked out hys tonge whiche had confessed God and cut it of What martyrdome hathe ther ben more glorious For the tonge whiche had confessed the name of God ought it selfe first to go to God Afterwardes they inuented more bitter punishmentes for the seconde For before they tormented his other membres They of a purposed hatred againste God plucte of the skinne of his heade with the heares and all For seyng Christe is the heade of man and the heade of Christ is God he that dyd so bocherly teare the martyrs heade did persecute in the head God and Christ But the martir hoping in his martirdome and assuring him selfe of the rewarde of the resurrection thorowe the gifte of God cryed out and sayde Thou thorowe thy power destroyest vs from this present lyfe but the kyng of the worlde shall rayse vs vp that are deade for his lawes in to the eternall resurrection of lyfe The thirde beyng demaunded to put forthe his tonge did it quickely For he had nowe learned of his brother to contempne the payne of cutting of the tonge He did also constauntlye stretche forthe his handes that they myght be cutte of and was very happye in suffering this kynde of punishment For asmuche as it was his fortune wyth stretched out handes to be made like vnto the Lordes passion in this suffering ▪ The fourth also with like corrage dispising the tormentes and answering with an heauenly voice to the kinges confusion cryed out and sayde It is beste for vs beyng put to deathe of men to haue our hope and truste in God to be raised agayne of him vnto eternall lyfe As for thee thou shalt haue no resurrection to lyfe The fyfthe besydes that thorowe the strenght of faythe he trode vnder the fote the bocherly tormentes of the king and many cruel paynes he was also strenghtened thorow Goddes spirite to a foreknowlege of thinges to come and prophecied vnto the kynge that bothe the indig nacion of God and also his vengeaunce wolde shortlye folowe vpon him Thou sayeth he hauynge power amonge men for thou arte a mortall man also thy selfe doest what thou wilt But thinke thou not that Bod hathe forsaken our generacion Abide the behold the great power of God after what maner he wil torment the and thy seade O what an easement was this of martyrdome howe great howe excellent was this comforte In his sufferinges not to thinke vpon his owne torments but to tell furthe the punishememtes of his tormentor In the .vi. not only godlines but humilite also ought to be commēded in that the martyr chalenged no thing to him selfe The humilite of Martyrs neither did he with proude wordes bost of the honour of his confession but did rather impute vnto his owne synnes that he suffred persecutiō of the king and as touching vengaunce that should folowe he committed that vnto God He taught martyrs to be shamefast to hope in God for reuengement and to bragge no thing in their sufferinges Be not vainely deceiued O king saieth he For we suffer here for our owne sakes bicause we haue synned against our God But thinke not thou to escape vnpunished scing thou hast attēpted to fight against God The wōder full mother also which was neither discorraged thorowe the weakenes of the kinde nor trobled with the manifolde lacke of children behelde gladly her sonnes dieing neither did she only consider their paines but also their glories and thorow the vertue of her eies she offered vnto God as great martyrdome as did her sonnes in the sufferinges tormētes of their membres After the six war tormented and slayne ther remayned yet one of the brethren vnto whome the king promised riches Lordeshipe and many thinges that at the lest by ouercommīg of one his fearce crueltye might be cōforted he desired that the mother together with him The xāple of a godly mother wolde be a meane to ouerthrowe her sōne She intreated her sonne But after suche sorte as became a mother of martyrs as it became one myndeful of the lawe of God As it became one that loued her sonnes not wantonly but strongly She intreated him in dede but that was to confesse God She intreated him that he being a brother shoulde not be separate from his brethren in the felowshipe of praise and glory Than reconning her selfe to be a mother of seuen sonnes yf it might be her fortune to bring furthe seuen to God and not to the world She therfore arming and strenghtning him bearing thā againe her sonne which a more happey birthe saied vnto him O my sonne haue pitye vpon me that bare the .ix. monethes in my wombe and gaue the sucke thre yeres and norished brought the vp vnto this age I beseche the my sonne loke vpō heauen and earthe whan thou hast considered all thinges that are in them vnderstande that God made them and mans generacion of nothing Therfore my sōne feare not this hāgman but suffer deathe stedfastly like as thy brethren haue done that I maye receiue the againe in the same mercy with thy brethren Great is the praise of this mother in exhorting to godlynes but greater was her praise in the feare of God in the truthe of faithe bicause she warranted neither her selfe nor her sōne any parte in the honour of the .vi. martyrs neither did she beleaue that the praier of the brethren should profite to the saluacion of him that denied She rather persuaded him to be partaker with them in suffering that in the daye of iudgement he myght be founde among his brethren After these thinges the mother dyed also together with her children For this was nowe most cumbely for ber to be ioyned vnto them in the felowship of glory whom she had borne and fashioned to martirdome and that her selfe myght also folowe them whō she had before hande sent vnto God And that no man should by any deceitfull occasion offered him either to recante or any other waye embrace the wicked gyft or rewarde of deceyuers Let vs also speake of Eleazarus Eleazarus 2. Mac ▪ 6. who hauyng libertie geuen him by the kinges seruauntes to take suche fleshe as was lawful for him to eate should but fayne himselfe to eate of the sacrifices vnlawful meates that were brought in and so deceiue the king He wolde in no wyse consent to this deceyte sayeng that it became neither his age nor his noble stocke to fayne himselfe to do that wherin many myght be offended and brought into error Thinking that Eleazarus being nynety yeres olde had forsaken and betrayed the lawe of God and were gone to the maners of straungers Neither dyd he thinke it any worthy matter by offendyng God
