Hence the whole volume of holy Scriptures, especially
the Old Testament, seems to be almost exclusively,
a book of martyrs, as we have stated in
the beginning; appearing from the examples which
we have adduced, and of which we could point out
many more, if it were necessary.

As regards the heroes of the new covenant, that
is, those who since the advent of Christ, and for the
testimony of the holy gospel, have fought the good
fight, even unto blood, yea, death; have finished
their course; and steadfastly kept the faith, notwithstanding
the various horrible torments; it would be
impossible to speak briefly of it here, and do the
subject full justice; for which reason we have done
this in the following two books, to which we would
refer the reader.

All this was written for a perpetual remembrance
of the steadfast and blessed martyrs; concerning
whom it is the will of God that they should not only
always be remembered here among men, but whom
he himself purposes never to forget but to remember
them with everlasting mercy.
