Ill call forth Two or Three of them, and show them to you, with Branches gathered from the Tree that Sweetens our Bitter Waters in their Hands.

How nobly did our Martyr Bradford enter the Flames, with such Words, Behold, The way to Heaven in a fiery Chariot! How nobly did our Martyr Noyes in ⟨p. 23⟩the Flames Cry out, Blessed be GOD, that ever I was born for this Day; My Coals will be turned into Pearls immediately! How nobly do•s the Martyr Pas••al•• Complain; O•! Tis a small Thing to •y bu• once •or CHRIST; if it might be, I would fain Die a Thousand times for Him.
