Verse 57. A rich man of Arimathaea]
Not many such, '〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 there are any. Ioseph was a counsellour, a Senatour, one of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 or seventy Seniours. Christ findes friends in the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 tempestuous times and unlikely places; as in 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and Neroes court. Some good Obadiah, or One 〈◊〉〈◊〉, to seek out Paul the prisoner, and refresh his bowels. Serena the 〈◊〉〈◊〉,* 1.1 wife to Diocletian that bloody persecutour, was a Christian, and a great friend to the true Religion. So was the Lady Anne (wife to our King Richard the second,) a disciple of Wickliffe; whose books also she conveyed over into Bohemia her countrey, where∣by a good foundation was laid for the ensuing Reformation. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of Gaunt shewed himself a great favourer of Wickliffe: The like did the Electour of Saxony for Luther. George Marquesse of Brandenburg, in a meeting of the Emperour and 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉Ausborough, zealously professed that he would rather kneel* 1.2 down presently in the presence of them all, and yeeld his head to be 〈◊〉〈◊〉 off by the executioner, then deny Christ and his Gospel.
