# Further Observations Respecting The Aforementioned Persecution.

[Previous page: SEVERE AND LAMENTABLE PERSECUTION, INSTITUTED BY MADY, KING OF THE ARABIANS, AGAINST THE CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS IN THE EAST, ABOUT A.

We commenced this century in the East, thence
proceeded to the West, and have now returned to
the East, namely, to the countries situated east from
Italy, and, consequently, far from Rome, and the
Roman see of papal dominion.

As regards the aforesaid persecutions, as well as
the churches which existed in the East, especially in
the Thessalonian regions, and the martyrs who fell
there, namely, what and how much is to be held of
them, can be gleaned from the explanation which
we gave in the beginning, and to which we here
refer the reader.

These Arabians proceeded and brought still more
persecution and misery upon many Christian believers
in other countries; however, for reasons
already mentioned, we are again prevented from
speaking more fully, or, at least, separately, of each
person that may have been martyred there.

The account of holy baptism, which we have
given for this century, would furnish us with not a
little matter, to fill these hundred years to the very
end with true professors of the true faith, also with
such as, to all appearance, did not hesitate, in testimony
of their upright and unwavering minds, to lay
down their lives for the sake of Jesus Christ, which
is the utmost that can be required of any martyr;
but as we have not been able to find their names,
they can have no place in this book. It is sufficient,
we hope, that their names, by the hand of God, are
written in the Book of life and eternal salvation.
