In the times of martyrdom, there was fire and faggot, and the frowns of bloody men; but who were the persons suffering? Even many Children, Old men, and Women, the weakest of creatures: notwithstanding the Spirit of God was so strong in these feeble ones, as their lives were not precious to them; but the torments and threatenings of their cruel Persecutors were cheerfully undergone by them, as Heb. 11. Here was Gods ⟨p. 77⟩power in mans infirmity. If we have not something above nature, how is it possible we should hold out in great trials?
