From His Discourse Concerning Martyrs
(De martyribus (fragmenta))

From His Discourse Concerning Martyrs. 1

For martyrdom is so admirable and desirable, that the Lord, the Son of God Himself, honouring it, testified, "He thought it not robbery to be equal with God," 2 that He might honour man to whom He descended with this gift.
