Revelation 6:10 Revelation 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? The blessed martyrs did not cry, as being sensible of any suffering, in their bodies; for their bodies being killed, did rest from their labors, \ and cry no more for their suffering in the body; that earthly tabernacle being dissolved, their souls were translated into eternal glory. \ Where there is no sin, no sorrow, no tears, no fights, no groans, no crying for grief or pain. \ Nor was this cry with a loud voice raised by any desire of revenge, and vengeance against those particular persons, soldiers, or others, who killed their bodies: For a revengeful frame of mind doth not become saints on earth, \ much less saints in glory. But as the voice of the blood of Abel cried unto God from the ground, \ so those blessed martyrs of Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, Holy, and True, does thou not judge and avenge our blood, as David did. \ Stir up thy self, and awake to judgement, even unto my cause, my God, and my Lord. And \ upon them that dwell on the earth; that is upon the inhabitants of the earth. \ The men of the earth, \ even the wicked of the earth, \ particularly upon the Roman pagan powers, empires, and tyrannical Caesars as follows. \
