But should it nevertheless be true, that one or
the other (whereof one have not heard), on account
of the earliness, degeneracy, or darkness of
preceding times, was not truly enlightened; either
in the faith or in the knowledge of it, or possessed
some serious weakness or deficiency; but nevertheless,
keeping the true foundation of salvation, that
is, Christ,[22](/en/stories/mm-footnotes/part-4/#Footnote_22) though weak and frail, died, sacrificing
his life through a violent death, with a good purpose,
to the honor of God, the edification of his fellow
brethren, above all, to the preservation of his
own soul; such a one should, according to the nature
of love, be excused, and counted a true martyr,[23](/en/stories/mm-footnotes/part-4/#Footnote_23)
because of his entirely good intention, and his total
renunciation, even unto death, of his possessions as
well as his own self; for which the Lord has promised
everlasting life, yea, the crown of life, Matt.
19:29, compared with Rev. 2:10: “Be thou faithful
unto death, and I will give thee a crown of Life.”

This is what we have thought proper to call attention
to in regard to the title and contents of these
two books; but before we dismiss the subject, it behooves
us to make a brief statement in regard to
the preceding or old work.
