A Distinction between the three Apostles that were specta∣tors of the Transfiguration of our Lord.

'Tis known, that on several occur∣rences he made choice of them, to be the onely witnesses of them. In this occasion we do onely consider the death of the two first, Peter and James, to have been violent. All the three represented, as we said before, the Believers, who were yet subject to death. But as death is either violent or natural, and the first man that died, viz. Abel, died a violent death; so the wisdom of God was pleased, that of the three, who, at the Transfiguration of Christ, represented the Militant Church, there should be two who were to die that kind of death, as representing such as God had appointed to Martyrdom, Joh. 21.19. Act. 12.2.
