Last of all, he promiseth to be with them and to strengthen them. This shall turn 1to you for a Testimonial. Lay it up therefore in your hearts, that you premeditate not what ye shall answer. For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, whereagainst all your adversaries shall not be able to speak, nor resist.

- 1Luke 21.
Thus were the things spoken of long before, which we have seen lately done. Whosoever will set down the story thereof, now they are passed, must needs declare it in the manner as it was forespoken. Their own kinsfolks, and friends betrayed many, and brought them to the Bishops, who delivered them into ⟨p. 100⟩prisons, for the name of Christ, and for the love of his truth. The blessed witnesses or martyrs of God, feared not, but endured. Many were simple, young men, young maidens, men and women of great age, labouring men, and men of occupations. Yet God gave them such a mouth, and such wisdom, as all their adversaries were not able to speak against it, nor resist it. Who readeth that Scripture diligently, and considereth this story of our time advisedly, can not but confess that the light of Gods Gospel is come among us, and that we are they upon whom the latter end of the world is come, and in whom he doth show forth the great might of his power.
