# Summary Of The Following Work.

Date not assigned · Historical source

Source: Martyrs’ Mirror. Original heading: SUMMARY OF THE FOLLOWING WORK.



This work comprises two books, each of them
containing a different and independent topic. The
first is a treatise of the holy baptism and of that
which pertains to it. The second is a historical
account of the holy martyrs who suffered on
account of baptism, or, generally, for the testimony
of Jesus Christ.

These two topics have been briefly, yet not less
clearly, treated, throughout, in every century, from
the days of Christ up to our present time; and this
order has been followed: through every century first
an account is given, through faithful and authentic
authors, of the subject of holy baptism, and the
proper administration of the same during that time;
to which we have each time added our own comments,
explanations, refutations of objections, etc.,
then every century is again taken up, and an account
given of the holy martyrs who suffered during
that time. So that each century treating of holy
baptism is followed by a century treating of the holy
martyrs; and thus from beginning to end.

This, then, is a summary and the order of the
following work; which we shall directly explain
more fully, and give our reason for doing so.
