TO THE READER.
IF the examinations and iniuste accusations of these our dear brethren with the names of their wicked accusers, false Judges and cruel tormen•e•s had been sent unto us as these few names were, we would most gladly have done our diligence, that the wonderful constancy of the one, & the great rage & cruelty of the other should have been witnessed unto the world. which thing nevertheless we mind hereafter more largely to perform to the glory of God, to the comfort of this Church & to the perpetual confusion of those murderers and members of Satan, whom the Lord shall confound by the glorious coming of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
