,
Christians

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
-
ly
read
of
his
death,
and.'Phiiip
he
was
crucifiedat
Hier/spoils
in
Afa,and
Barthflmew
while
he
was
preaching
the truth,mul-
titudes
fell upon him, and
beat
him
down with
{laves,
and Tho-
mas
he was [lain
with
a
dart,
and
Matthew he
was
(lain
with
a
Speer, or
(as fome fay)
run
through with
a
Sword,
and fames
the
fon
of Alpheus who
was
called
the
}uft,was thrown
down
from
otf
a
pinacle
of the
Temple,
and having fome -life
left
in
him,
he was
brained with
a
Fullers club
Lebbeas
was slain
by
Agbarus, King
of
