etc., therefore death became his sleep; but from whence came his
great joy? Because that with spiritual and corporeal eyes he saw
the Saviour of the world-he saw the true Physician against sin and
death. Therefore it is a great trouble to behold how desirous a
thirsty body is of drink, or one that is hungry of food, whereas a
cup of water, a morsel of bread, can still hunger and thirst no
longer than two or three hours, but no man, or very few, are
desirous, or do long after the most precious Physician, although he
lovingly calleth and allureth all to come unto him, and saith, "He
that is athirst, let him come to me and drink" (John vii.); so, "He
that believeth in me, from his body shall flow streams of living
water."


Of the Temple of all the Gods (except Christ), at Rome, called
Pantheon.

In the year 606, Emperor Phocas, the murderer of that good and godly
Emperor Mauritius, and the first erector of the Pope's primacy, gave
this temple Pantheon to Pope Boniface the Third, to make thereof
what he pleased. He gave it another name, and instead of All-Idols
he named it the Church of All-Saints; he did not number Christ among
them, from whom all saints have their sanctity, but erected a new
idolatry, the Invocation of Saints.

In my chronicle, said Luther, I expound the name of Bonifacius thus:
Bonifacius is a Popish name, that is, a good form, fashion, or show,
for under the colour of a good form and show he acted all manner of
mischief against God and man.
