For by the same that followeth such answer was made to the complaint of Martyrs,1 that we may understand what is the state & glory of saints in heaven, which have offered their bodies for the Testament of God: and that God hath not forgotten the blood spilt: but that he will at length requite those blood shedders when he seeth time. But where he hath reserved this time to him self, when he will reward the blood suckers, it is not our part to inquire curiously thereof: but rather to be in a readiness, that if he will that we also should suffer for the Testimony of Jesus Christ, we should run speedily and cheerily through afflictions unto glory doubting nothing, but that we shall be joined to the blessed Martyrs, in heaven, and that the just judge in that day will render to all the enemies of God, the Church, and Gods word, after their demerits. And albeit the time of persecution do seem a world to the flesh: yet is it here, and else where in the scriptures called short.2 But these things must be seen and considered by parts.
