The martyrdom…
If his life was of no value to his friends…
They never knew him…
His name has been spoken for both good and bad…
No one need suppose him guilty of any great or malignant sins…
Fools hold him in derision…
The pure in heart gladly seek his counsel…
The wise and noble seek his counsel…
The virtuous seek his counsel…
God’s people have never been turned against him by the false testimony of traitors…
