Concerning persecution in all ages to this day. : And he that was born after the flesh, persecuted them that was born of the spirit; and even so it is now: yea, and all that will live Godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution. Mark, all them that will live Godly; not them that will live ungodly, out of Christ Jesus, 2 Tim. 3.12. For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake. To the elect of God; and how that Christ hath sown his seed upon all grounds: and now their grounds will be tryed. The children of God, their heavenly shield, buckler, arms, armour and defence, which they had from God and Christ. G. Fox

Papal usurpation and persecution, : as it has been exercis'd in ancient and modern times with respect both to princes & people; A fair warning to all Protestants, to guard themselves with the utmost caution against the encroachments & invasions of popery; as they value their estates, lives and liberties, but above all, as they would preserve their consciences free from the forest of all tyrannies and oppressions. The whole divided into two tomes, answerable to the subject matter, as it relates both to princes and people; and design'd as supplemental to the Book of martyrs, as well in the several ages antecedent to the Reformation, where that is found defective; as by continuing the same most useful part of Ecclesiastical history, a martyrology, down to these present times
