in_o profess_v our_o faith_n they_o all_o suffer_v most_o exquisite_a torment_n and_o in_o the_o end_n most_o bloody_a death_n only_o because_o they_o will_v not_o at_o the_o king_n command_n eat_v of_o swine_n flesh_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o this_o both_o the_o mother_n still_o exhort_v her_o son_n to_o constancy_n herein_o &_o all_o her_o seven_o son_n

these_o two_o most_o remarkable_a example_n i_o thus_o argue_v the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v much_o inferior_a in_o worth_n dignity_n and_o many_o privilege_n to_o the_o new_a
