was

preaching

to

his

Disciples

and

they

found

(ufe)

of

this Sermon

ofChrift,in

this

part of

it,

(oche

reality)

for partly

the Scripture,

and

partly

Ecclefialticall ftories,

do

tell

us

of,

every one

of

the

Ap

©(Iles

that fuffered

a

violent

death

except

only

John, and yet the Scripture tels

us

that he

fuffered

banishment; and

fome

fteries tels

Fis

that

he

was

cast

into

a

Cauldron of

hat

fcalding

lead,

though

God

miraculoufly

delivered

him, but

that

he

fuffered

baniíhment

is

cleer,in the

i

Revelation

he

was

banished into

the

1í1e

of

matmos

for

the

word

of

God,and

for

the

testimony

of

Jefus

Chrift,

and

the

have

Fcclef

iaftical

ftories

which none

yet that I

know

do

que-

Rion

the

truth

of,

that doth declare the violent death

of all

the

other Apoffles,

mot

only

fuftering

fome

troubles, but flitte-

ring

unto blood

:

Though

it's true,

fome

differ

in

the

manner

of

their death,but yet

all agree

in

this

in

their

violent

death

:

If

you

read where

they

are

all

twelve named': You shall

find

firft, concerning Peter

that

{Ionics

tells

us

he

was

crucifi-

ed,but

he would

not be crucified

as

Christ, but with

his

heels

upward,

as

Chrift

was

with

his head

upwards, and

/ndrew

he

was

likewise

crucified

by

Egeies

King

of

Edef

fa,

and

fames

the

fon

of

Zebedee,

he

was

[lain

by

Herod with

the fword,

and

then

f

ohn,

he

was

banished,

as

before,

though

we

do

not

certain

of

his

death,

and.'Phiiip

while

fell upon him, and

beat

him

down with

he was [lain

with

and

Matthew he

was

(lain

with

a

(as fome fay)

run

through with

a

Sword,

and fames

the

fon

of Alpheus who

was

called
