— Sanguine fundata est Ecclesia, sanguine crevit. —
The showers of blood have ever made the Church fruitful, Phil. 1.13. Pauls being bound made the truth more enlarged; the Gospel hath always flourished in the ashes of Martyrs.

5. It is that we have engaged our selves to in Baptism; there we took our press-money; we solemnly vowed that ⟨p. 395⟩we would be true to Christs interest, and fight it out under his Banner to the death; and how often have we in the blessed Supper taken the oath of allegiance to Jesus Christ, that we would be his liege servants, and that death should not part us! Now if when being called to it, we refuse to suffer persecution for his Name, Christ will bring our Baptism as an indictment against us; Christ is called the Captain of our salvation, Hebr. 2.10. We have listed our selves by name under this Captain; now if for fear we shall fly from our colours, it is perjury in the highest degree; and how shall we be able to look Christ in the face another day?*
