Four useful discourses viz. ... /Four usefull discourses viz. ... /

And you shall find it in Mat. 10. That He sends out His Apostles, and He tells them the like: And indeed, it did so fall out. For there was not any one of the Twelve Apostles, but did Die a Violent death; was put to death by the Rage of Ungodly Men, except John. It were easy to show you partly out of Ecclesiastical Stories, how every one except John, was put to death; some Hanged, some Stoned, some Crucified, and some by the Sword: One way or other, the Twelve were put to death, that were the greatest Instruments of doing God Service, that ever were in the World; and yet this Recompense they all had from this wicked World, save only one (I say) and yet the Scripture tells us that he was Banished. And Ecclesiastical Stories tell us, that he was cast into Scalding Lead; but withal they tell us, that he was Delivered by a Miracle out of it: So that he wanted not his Sufferings too. That's the Third thing.

And you shall find it in Mat. 10. That He sends out His Apostles, and He tells them the like: And indeed, it did so fall out. For there was not any one of the Twelve Apostles, but did Die a Violent death; was putto death by the Rage of Ungodly Men, except John. It were easie to shew you partly out of Ecclesiastical Stories, how every one except John, was put to death; some Hanged, some Ston'd, some Crucified, and some by the Sword: One way or other, the Twelve were put to death, that were the greatest Instruments of doing God Service, that ever were in the World; and yet this Recompence they all had from this wicked World, save only one (I say) and yet the Scripture tells us that he was Banisht. And Ecclesiastical Stories tell us, that he was cast into Scalding Lead; but withal they tell us, that he was Delivered by a Miracle out of it: So that he wanted not his Sufferings too. That's the Third thing.

And then the Fourth thing that there is in Christs Direction unto these, it is this: He tells them, That all their Living that they are like to have, it is to be had by their Work: They are to be maintained for their Work, and they should take no further care, For the Labourer is worthy of his Hire.
