Hebrews11:4
Verſe 4. A more excellent ſacrifice] Good actions and good aims, make a man good in the ſight of God. Cain may offer as well as Abel. Doeg may ſet his foot as far within the Sanctuary, as David, the Phariſee as the Publican, but with different ſucceſſe.
God teſtifying of his gifts] By fire from heaven, or ſome other viſible expreſſion of his gracious acceptation, whereby Abels faith was confirmed touching life and ſalvation in Chriſt.
Being dead, yet ſpeaketh] Or, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. is yet ſpoken of; Being regiſtred for the firſt Martyr in the Old Teſtament, as Stephen was in the New, and as Mr Rogers was here in the Marian perſecution.
