1The testimony and constancy of Martyrs, who sealing this doctrine with their blood do show in the very midst of most exquisite torments, that they do so think indeed, as they taught, and are firmly persuaded in their hearts of the truth of that doctrine which they have professed; and that they draw that comfort out of it which they did preach unto others: to wit, that for Christs sake they are truly the sons of God, and that God careth for them in the hour and point of death. God therefore sustaining them by this lively comfort, thereby witnesseth, that he affecteth the doctrine of the Church, for which they suffer.

1The true pretty and holiness of those who wrote the holy Scriptures, and made open profession of the doctrine comprised therein. For that Religion is most sacred & divine, which maketh men holy and acceptable unto God. But the Patriarchs, Prophets, Apostles, ⟨p. 12⟩and others, who heretofore have, and now do earnestly embrace this doctrine, far exceed men of other Religions in true virtue and integrity, as by the conference and comparison will appear. Wherefore it accordeth with reason, that the doctrine of the Church, rather then of any other Religion whatsoever, is true and divine.
