Pretiosa mors haec est, quae emit immortalitatem pretio sanguinis sui: Pretions is that death, which buyeth immortality with the price of it bloud.
And in the end of the same Epistle.
O beatam Ecclesiam nostram, quam temporibus nostris gloriosus Martyrum sanguis illustrat! Erat antea in operi∣bus fratrum candida: nunc facta est in Martyrū cruore pur∣purea.
O happy is our Church, which the glorious bloud of Mar∣tyrs doth in these our dayes illustrate! It was made white before in the works of our brethren: but novv is it made purple in the bloud of Martyrs.
