22. Yea, that is, assuredly, certainly, for thy sake—not for our offenses but for obeying thee; the trials came because
they were loyal to their God—are we killed all the day long. Persecution
never ceased to hound them to the death; and all because they would not forsake
their covenant God and King. We are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
As if we were only meant to be killed, and made on purpose to be victims. We
clearly hear the martyr’s cry. Not long shall the church plead in this fashion;
her shame will be recompensed, her triumph will dawn.
