 Christ, as people do so their games and pastimes. Their feeling of divine consolations, and their assurance of eternal recompence, a made them undervalue life and enbrace torments. The pangs of their love were stronger than the pangs of death; they were glad they had any-thing to lose for Christ. I cannot dispute for Christ, but I can burn for Chrift, saith one, Methinks you do straw roses under my feet, said another, when the fire was kindled beneath him. If every hair of my head, said Ardille, were a man, I would burn all for Christ. Ye seek a miracle from us, O ye Papists, said Bainham, here is a miracle, I feel no more pain in those flames than if I were lying on a bed of downs. None but Christ, none but Christ, said Lambert, when the flames were flying and preying upon him. On a Saturday was I married, and on a Saturday shall I be married again, said Anne Audibar, when she was led forth to be burned on Saturday.
