not_o import_v sufficient_a witness_n of_o that_o which_o he_o have_v speak_v or_o rather_o that_o he_o have_v not_o satisfy_v they_o already_o which_o come_v to_o ask_v he_o further_o as_o it_o be_v lay_v net_n to_o catch_v he_o wherefore_o let_v this_o point_n remain_v resolute_a among_o all_o christian_n that_o be_v that_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o account_v their_o life_n more_o dear_a than_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o truth_n inasmuche_o as_o god_n will_v be_v glorify_v in_o it_o be_v it_o in_o vain_a that_o he_o call_v all_o those_o witness_n for_o the_o word_n martyr_n signifith_v

in_o they_o there_o be_v two_o grievous_a thing_n to_o the_o flesh_n in_o persecution_n too_o wit_n the_o one_o the_o rebuke_n and_o shame_n of_o man_n and_o the_o other_o the_o torment_n that_o the_o

which_o he_o have_v promise_v unto_o us._n let_v we_o therefore_o take_v this_o buckler_n too_o repulse_n and_o put_v back_o all_o fear_n wherewith_o we_o be_v assail_v and_o let_v we_o not_o

he_o that_o shall_v give_v i_o grace_n to_o die_v patient_o for_o his_o name_n he_o will_v give_v i_o grace_n to_o endure_v the_o fire_n we_o ought_v to_o esteem_v this_o sentence_n not_o as_o the_o sentence_n of_o a_o mortal_a man_n but_o as_o a_o sentence_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o the_o end_n to_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n be_v as_o able_a to_o strengthen_v we_o and_o to_o make_v we_o to_o overcome_v all_o torment_n as_o to_o move_v we_o to_o take_v any_o other_o kind_n of_o meek_a death_n in_o good_a part_n which_o be_v more_o we_o see_v often_o time_n what_o constancy_n he_o

who_o fight_n for_o his_o cause_n that_o he_o will_v not_o give_v they_o a_o invincible_a power_n the_o third_o point_n concern_v the_o promise_n that_o god_n have_v make_v to_o his_o martyr_n be_v of_o the_o fruit_n that_o they_o ought_v to_o hope_v for_o of_o their_o suffering_n and_o in_o the_o end_n if_o need_v be_v of_o death_n itself_o now_o this_o fruit_n be_v after_o that_o he_o have_v
