[ 454] The strength of a true Christians love to Christ.

IN our English Chronicles,* 1.1 we read of the rare affection of Elianor the wife of Edward the first; the King having gotten a wound by a poysoned Dagger, she sets her mouth to the wound to such out the poyson, venturing her own life to preserve her Husbands.* 1.2 Such is the strength of a true Christians love to Christ, that were it to suck poyson out of Christs wounds, it would be contented so to do; as when Christ his Church, his cause, his people are smitten and wounded by the poysonous tongues of blasphemers, the rayling tongues of licentious libertines, the hellish fie∣ry tongues of a rebellious generation,* 1.3 and a good Christian is willing to draw it all upon himselfe, to take it off from Christ, and that Christ may have the glory he careth not what he undergoeth.
