Therefore upon good discretion, and in some token of Fellowship, Martyrs burials are appointed in that place (here in Earth) where the Lords Death is daily remembered: As the Lord him self saith, As often, as ye shall do these things, ye shall set forth my Death, until I come. I mean, that they, that died for the Lords Death, may rest under the Mystery of his Sacrament.

After this he returneth again to the Souls of the Blessed Martyrs, under the Altar in Heaven. Legimus plaerósque Justorum Abrahae sinibus refoveri &c. We read, saith S. Augustine, that many Just men are refreshed in Abraham's bosom: and that many are in the pleasures of Paradise. Yet no man deserved better then the Martyrs, to rest there (in Heaven) where as Christ is both the Sacrifice, and the Priest. I mean, that they may enjoy God's favour by the offering of that Sacrifice, and may receive the Blessing, and Ministry of that Priest.
After this he returneth againe to the Soules of the Blissed Martyrs, vnder the Aultar in Heauen. Legimus plaerósque Iustorum Abrahae sinibus refoueri &c. VVee reade, saithe S. Augustine, that many Iuste menne are refreashed in Abrahams bosome: and that many are in the pleasures of Paradise. Yet noman deserued better then the Martyrs, to reaste there (in Heauen) where as Christe is bothe the Sacrifice, and the Priest. I meane, that they may enioye Goddes fauoure by the offeringe of that Sacrifice, and may receiue the Blissinge, and Ministerie of that Prieste.
