I will not enter upon this part of the Text, for it would swallow up all my time. Therefore I shall wave it, and come to the third part, which is that which (by Gods assistance) I purpose to speak unto, viz. What Stephen did, when he had finished his prayer. When he had said this, he fell asleep, that is, he died.

Behold here, the magnanimity, the piety, and the Christian courage of Stephen. The people were stoning of him, and gnashing their teeth upon. him, and the good man dies with as much quietness of mind, as if he had died in his bed; he fell asleep, while they were stoning of him. When he died, he prayed, and while he prayed he died.
