John Trapp on Mark 8:35

Verse 35. For whosoever will save his life] As that revolting [illegible: 1 word], Host to Philbert [illegible: 1 word] Martyr, slaine by his enemy upon a private quarrell. As those Angrognians that yeelded to the PapistsAct. & Mon. fol. 835. that came against them, and were more cruelly handled by them then their neighbours that continued constant in the truth. As Denton the Smith of Welle in Cambridgshire, that could not burnIbid. 873. for Christ, and was afterwards burned in his own house. As West Ibid. 1558. that was Chaplaine to Bishop Ridly, who refusing to dye in Christs cause with his Master, said Masse against his conscience, and sooneIbid. 1570. after pined away for sorrow. If I shrink from Gods truth (said Doctor Taylor Martyr) I am sure of another manner of death then had Judge Hales: who being drawn for fear of death, to doIbid. 1382. things against his conscience, did afterwards drowne himselfe.
