Hebrews11:37
Verſe 37. [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Were tempted] Or (as others read the words) They were burned. One ſaith, That it was almoſt as great a miracle that Ioſeph did not burn, when his miſtreſſe tempted him, as it was for the three children not to burn in the Babyloniſh fire. Luther was oft tempted to be quiet, with great ſums of money, and higheſt preferments. Iulian by this means drew many from the faith.
In ſheepskins and goatskins] That might have ruſtled in ſilks and velvets, if they would have yeelded. Saepe ſub attrite lati[illegible: 1 letter]at ſapientia veſte.
Afflicted, tormented] None out of hell were ever more afflicted then the Saints, to the wonder and aſtoniſhment of the beholders.
