Excerpt from The Letters of the Martyrs: Collected and Published in 1564
We see in the Old Testament what mercies came upon the seed of Abraham as the fruit of his self-denial and self sacrifice for God. We see what mercies came upon the Jews for David's sake, (psalms cxxxii. And lxxxix. Isa. Xxxvii. Xxxv. J er. Xxxiii. Xxi. And xxvi.) and, though their national sins often brought down divine judgments, yet for Abraham's sake and for David's sake, they were mitigated and shortened; the faith of the pious forefathers availed to be a lasting blessing to the people.
