Our adversaries crake much of the sealing up of their new Doctrine with the Blood of such and such, who be written in the book of lies, not in the book of life, whom they will needs to be called Martyrs. Verily if those Monks, and Friars, Apostates, and renegades, wedded to wives, or rather (to use their own term) yoked to Sisters, be true Martyrs: then must our N•we Gospellers pull these Holy Fathers, and many Thousands moe out of Heaven.
