Straws & Feathers and Flax do quickly take fire, and are made ashes in a moment, but not so gold, there's bones and metal in strong Faith: so the Martyrs Faith, that could not be broken with torments, is proved to be a great Faith, Heb. 11.35, [Greek or Hebrew] Their bodies were racked out as a drum, and beaten to death after racking, and ⟨p. 358⟩they would not accept a deliverance: Why? Faith looked to a better resurrection: He who sweateth, panteth up the brow of the mount after Christ, and carrieth death on his back, must have this strong faith, that Christ is worthy of tortures: a strong faith can bear Hell on its shoulders, the Grave, and the sorrows of death, and not crack, nor be broken, Psal. 18.4, 5, 6. Psal. 116.3, 4.
