Now also the cause is showed for the which the Martyrs are slain: for the word of God, and for the testimony that they had: they were not put to death for their wickedness or evil doings, but for the true religion, whereby they confessed ⟨p. 197⟩and preached that word of God, which was in the beginning, and was made flesh: and the Gospel which they had committed unto them, the testimony of God and eternal life, which also they ministered and preached. Of the word of God and testimony of Jesus Christ I have spoken in the first Chapt. For no other cause at this day are slain innumerable of Bishops, kings and princes. If they were adulterers, usurers, blasphemers, & wicked doers, they should be in some estimation: now where they profess the only son of God, and preach the Gospel, they are murdered without mercy. Here have we also certainly defined, who be very Martyrs in deed, not they that suffer torments: but they that are tormented for gods word. For the cause maketh the Martyr.

Of the word of God and testimony of Iesu Christ I haue spoken in the first Chapt. For no other cause at this day are slaine innumerable of Bisshoppes, kinges and princes. Yf they were aduouterers, vsurers, blasphemers, & wicked doers, they shuld be in some estimation: nowe where they professe the onely sonne of God, and preache the Gospell, they are murthered without mercy. Here haue we also certenly defined, who be very Martirs in dede, not they that suffer tourmentes: but they that are tourmented for gods word. For the cause maketh the Martir.
