And if we admire those discourses of the Heathen Philosophers, wherein they speak more darkly and obscurely concerning those things, what admiration doth the Gospel deserve, which hath brought life and immortality to light? If we commend the vertuous Heathens, who according to those short and obscure notices which they had of God and themselves, sought to make the world any thing the better for their being in it, what infinitely greater esteem do those blessed Apostles deserve, who accounted not their lives dear to them that they might make even their enemies happy? If those mens memories be dear to us who sacrifice their lives and fortunes for the sake of the Countrey they belong to, shall not those be much more so who have done it for the good of the whole world? Such who chearfully suffer'd death while they were teaching men the way to an eternal life, |
