This god died so we may live..infinite power & influence...for those who admit we have no power at all..we r earthen vessels, ..dust of earth..treasure inclosed..frail mortality..irony, eternal life itself held ...those who regard own lives as nothing, spend all attention to spreading life..martyrs..who we celebr ..they were captured by calvinists of netherlands..they bravely defended the eucharist..17(?)..died by hanging at hands of calvinists? ..victory god gives to martyrs is heaven itself..17 new souls that day.. [apparently true,see http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyrs_of_Gorkum ]
