The World admires the Lacedaemonians and Romans, and they that had courage in any Age or place to dye for their Country, they were so esteem'd by the Heathens, that they had Statues erected, Pictures ingraven, Titles of Honour inscribed; the World doing what it could to make their Names immortal, how much better to suffer for Christ? What Soul would not desire to have his Name inrolled in that Catalogue among the Cloud of Witnesses, who wander'd up and down, destitute, afflicted, tormented, were stoned, slain with the Sword, sawn asunder, yet not accepting deliverance on unworthy terms, because they looked for a better resurrection, Heb. 11.35, 37. |
