¶ The second consideration.
AS these things first are to be considered concerning our selves: so secondly let us consider likewise, the state and times of other our countrymen, and blessed Martyrs afore past: what storms of persecutions they sustained, what little rest they had, with what enemies they were matched▪ with what crosses pressed, under what Princes, under what Prelates they lived, or rather dyed in the days of King Henry the 4. king Henry 5. King Henry 7. King Henry 8. Queen Mary. &c. under Bo•er Bishop of London, Gardiner Bishop of Winchester, Cholmley, Story, Bishop Arundell, Stokesley, Courtney, Warham. At what time children were caused to set fire to their fathers: The father adjured to accuse the son, the wife to accuse the husband, the husband the wife, brother the sister, sister the brother, examples whereof are plenty in this book to be seen, pag. 774.
