Sacrorvm Emblematvm Centuria Una | ||
Emblem. 59. Patientia sanctorum.
The same in English.
The tyrant did not so much rage,As patience doth the smart asswage:
Seuen brethren with their mother deare,
For Gods law are thus martyred here.
They whip them and their partes deface,
Flea of the skin, heate the furnace:
They doe all this yet still abide,
Gods praise in death they doe not hide,
In God they rest with godly cheare,
So we for faith the like must beare.
