The history of the lives, acts, and martyrdoms of those blessed Christians, who were cotemporary with, or immediately succeeded the apostles. As also the most eminent fathers of the primitive church, who professed and suffered for the Christian Faith, for some Hundred of Years after the Death of our Lord and Saviour: collected from sacred writ, and the records of antiquity. With cuts of the several ways by which they were put to death by their bloody Persecutors. And an elegant Frontispiece, representing Christ recommending a Religious Life.
