7So when the first was dead, after this maner, they brought the second to make him a mocking stocke: and when they had pulled off the skin of his head with the haire, they asked him, Wilt thou eate before thou bee punished throughout euery member of thy body? 8But hee answered in his owne language, and said, No. Wherefore hee also receiued the next torment in order, as the former did. 9And when hee was at the last gaspe, hee said, Thou like a fury takest vs out of this present life, but the king of the world shall raise vs vp, who haue died for his lawes, vnto euerlasting life. 10After him was the third made a mocking stocke, and when he was required, he put out his tongue, and that right soone, holding forth his hands manfully, 11And said couragiously, These I had from heauen, and for his lawes I despise them, and from him I hope to receiue them againe.
