About Sixty Noted, Pious Martyrs Put to Death for the Name of Jesus Christ

In the preceding number of several thousand martyrs who laid down their lives under Maximin, in the sixth persecution, none of them are mentioned by name, no doubt because in the judgment of the world they were mostly lowly and obscure people. But Sebastian Franck relates from some ancient writers that about sixty noted martyrs received the crown of martyrdom under this tyrant, which would take too long to recount.
