Verse 20. For they are 〈◊〉〈◊〉, which 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the young 〈◊〉〈◊〉* 1.1 life]

God hid him as it were, for a litle moment, untill the indig∣nation was 〈◊〉〈◊〉. So he did 〈◊〉〈◊〉, Baruch, 〈◊〉〈◊〉, Luther in his Pathmos, (as he used to call the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉〈◊〉,) where when the Pope 〈◊〉〈◊〉 excommunicated him, and the Emperour proscribed him, the Lord put into the heart of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of Saxony to hide him for 〈◊〉〈◊〉 moneths. In which 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 dyed, the Emperour had his hands full of the French wars, and the Church thereby obtained an happy Halcyon. At which 〈◊〉〈◊〉 a pretty spectacle it was to behold Christ striving with Antichrist for 〈◊〉〈◊〉. For whatsoever the Pope and his Champions could do to the contrary, all fell 〈◊〉〈◊〉 rather, as 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Philippi, unto the 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 of* 1.2 the Gospell. So was it here in Q. Maryes time: do what they could, the Christian Congregation in London were, sometimes fourty, sometimes a hundred, sometimes two hundred. I have heard of one (saith M. Fox) that being sent to them to take their 〈◊〉〈◊〉,* 1.3 and to espy their doings, yet in being among them was converted, and cryed them all mercy. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 hearing that the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 lay* 1.4 a dying, hasted home from London to burne those six that he had in his cruel custody. Those were the last that were burnt. Many others escaped by the Queens 〈◊〉〈◊〉.
