EMBLEME VI.
On dit que le Phoenix vie en mort va reprendre:
Si qu’un mesme bucher est sa vie & sa mort.
Bourreaux, bruslez les Saincts:[1] vain sera votre effort.
Ceux qu’estaindre voulez renaissent de leur cendre.
Notes:
1. Again, a reference to persecution of Protestants by public burnings such as those in Marian England in the 1550s
