Secondly

It is drawn from the great advantage & privilidge which
doth all end those persons; who lose their lives for his sake. They
shall love the life of their souls.

         Thirdly, it is drawn from the vanity & 
filly folly of those that deny Christ

To save their lives & lose their so[u]ls: ffor what shall it

own soul.

of gaining the whole world to himselfe: or This, It is

how have they butchered Men like sheepe: was not this the
work of the Babilonion Kings: and of Allexander the great
hath not the Turke & [illegible] laboured after this: By this you may
guesse what boundles desires Men have naturally: Man would be
like the most high: how art thou fallen from heaven o Lucifer [illegible]
