The godly exhortation of holy Father Bradford which he gave to his wife, children and friends a little before his death, who dyed a martyr for the Gospel in Q. Mary's days : wherein is plainly shown the excellency of the Protestant religion and the happiness of those that profess and live the same : as also the damnableness of the Romish religion with their bloody and rebellious crimes laid open : with the relation of the murder of that just justice Sir Edmund-bury Godfrey.The godly exhortation of holy Father Bradford which he gave to his wife, children and friends a little before his death, who dyed a martyr for the Gospel in Q.

If that before them you they call, to give a ransom of your Faith; Be fearful not in Judgement-Hall, but tell them thus the Scripture saith.
If that before them you they call, to give a ransom of your Faith; Be fearful not in Iudgement-Hall, but tell them thus the Scripture saith.
And if that reason won't take place, and she persist in acts of ill; By cheerful countenance let your face declare that you your blood will spill.
And if that reason won't take place, and she persist in acts of ill; By chearful countenance let your face declare that you your blood will spill.
Rather than that you any way the Laws of God for to condemn; Or Heavenly Master disobey, you value not the wrath of Men.
Fear not the furious flames of Fire, therein to broil be well contented; Of Heavenly Honours none there's higher, of Martyrdom none ever repented.
