First he commendeth the constancy of their faith in cruel persecutions: By and by he rebuketh those which clea•ed to the sect of the Nicolaitans: After he exhorteth them •o repentance. And this doctrine he applieth afterwards to all congregations throughout the world. Last he promiseth most ample rewards to the faithful.2 Hereof we understand that the congregation of Pergamos, is set forth •s a type or a glass to all churches, how it behoveth them […] walk before the Lord: First so oft as persecution ⟨p. 72⟩shall arise: Secondly, when heresies break out. For by the example thereof he teacheth all to suffer adversity patiently, and openly to profess the true faith: And also by the scriptur• to reprove heresies, & in flying from them to despise the same.
