Then it followeth, that the souls of these just and righteous men were in Paradise, and in Abraham's bosom, which is the very port and haven of salvation. For although the persecuting Emperors, and other tyrants of the earth, had power to kill their bodies, yet had they no power over their souls, as our Lord Jesus affirmeth.2
