nor_o express_v in_o the_o article_n thereof_o yet_o it_o be_v some_o of_o those_o work_n which_o a_o christian_a man_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v the_o second_o be_v to_o have_v maintain_v with_o loss_n of_o life_n the_o integrity_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o not_o to_o suffer_v any_o part_n thereof_o to_o perish_v or_o corrupt_v the_o three_o be_v to_o endeavour_n by_o the_o same_o mean_n to_o preserve_v the_o liberty_n and_o immunity_n of_o the_o church_n 8_o by_o the_o first_o way_n they_o entitle_v s._n john_n baptist_n because_o he_o die_v for_o reprehend_v a_o fault_n against_o a_o moral_a truth_n and_o that_o truth_n be_v resist_v the_o author_n of_o truth_n be_v despise_v and_o therefore_o all_o truth_n be_v not_o matter_n convenient_a for_o the_o exercise_n of_o this_o virtue_n as_o the_o conclusion_n of_o art_n and_o science_n though_o perfect_o and_o demonstrative_o true_a be_v not_o but_o it_o must_v be_v such_o a_o truth_n as_o be_v conversant_a about_o christian_a piety_n and_o by_o which_o god_n may_v be_v glorify_v which_o can_v be_v except_o he_o may_v be_v injure_v by_o the_o deny_v thereof_o so_o the_o evangelist_n when_o our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o s._n peter_n martyrdom_n say_v 21.19_o he_o signify_v by_o what_o death_n he_o shall_v glorify_v god_n for_o all_o martyredome_n work_v to_o that_o end_n and_o this_o first_o occasion_n of_o martyrdom_n seldom_o fall_v out_o in_o christian_a country_n because_o in_o christ_n the_o great_a mirror_n of_o all_o these_o truth_n we_o see_v they_o distinct_o and_o evident_o but_o

of_o these_o moral_a duty_n and_o if_o they_o grow_v odious_a and_o suffer_v for_o that_o they_o be_v perfect_a martyr_n die_v for_o a_o moral_a truth_n and_o in_o the_o way_n to_o christ._n 9_o by_o the_o second_o claim_n which_o be_v the_o integrity_n of_o catholic_a religion_n the_o professor_n of_o any_o christian_a church_n will_v make_v a_o specious_a and_o apparent_a title_n if_o they_o

of_o our_o adversary_n all_o that_o we_o affirm_v be_v true_a and_o necessary_a and_o upon_o good_a ground_n we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o nothing_o else_o be_v so_o and_o we_o think_v that_o a_o propensenesse_n to_o die_v for_o profession_n of_o those_o point_n which_o be_v not_o necessary_a will_v not_o constitute_v a_o martyrdom_n in_o such_o a_o person_n especial_o as_o be_v of_o
