Joh. 13. 38. [Greek or Hebrew]. They are the words of St. Peter unto Christ; I will lay down my life for thee; To free thee, I will expose my own head to danger, my life to death; that thou mayest live and I dye. It is plain that he intended the same thing with the celebrated [Greek or Hebrew] of old, who exposed their own lives, ([Greek or Hebrew]) for one another, such were Damon and Pythias, Orestes & Pylades, Nisur & Eurialus. Whence is that saying of Seneca, Succurram perituro; sed ut ipse n•n peream; nisi si futurus ero magni hominis, aut magnae rei merces. I will relieve or succour one that is ready to perish; yet so as that I perish not my self; unless thereby, I be taken in lieu of some great man, or great matter. For a great man, a man of great worth and usefulness I could perish, or dye in his stead, that he might live and go free.
