The eyes of the Faithful in Christs time lay under their locks,1 as hindered from clear sight by many errors; but the eyes of the Faithful, now seeing the truth much more plainly, are not hindered by such locks hanging over them: How clear was their faith, that having seen him which was invisible,2 feared not the fierceness of their Kings and Princes, but endured patiently fiery Persecutions, and bloody Massacres?
The eyes of the Faithfull in Christs time lay under their locks,1 as hindered from cleere sight by many errors; but the eyes of the Faithfull, now seeing the truth much more plainly, are not hindered by such locks hanging over them: How cleere was their faith, that having seene him which was invisible,2 feared not the fiercenesse of their Kings and Princes, but endured patiently fiery Persecutions, and bloody Massacres?
