The first Persecution by Nero Domitius
NEro Domitius caused the first persecution, hee regarded neither sect, condition
of life, or age, the streets were spread with dead bodies of Christians, hee
indeuored vtterly to abolish the name of Christians: in this persecution, Peter was
crucified, who required his head to be hanged downward as vnworthy to dye like
Christ, the cause was thought to bee because Symon Magus,* 1.1 pretending to flye from
the Mount Capitolinus to Heauen, by Peters prayers was brought downe head∣long,
and his ioynts beeing broken hee dyed, at that time Peters wife suffred, and the
same day twelue-month Paule suffred.
