This verse points at some of the advantages of the martyrs, that makes them so happy! They not only rejoice in the Grace and Bounty of God that they have themselves obtained - Also their dearers and nearers that are left behind, have not been driven out of their mind, and are assured that on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve, even in this mortal life for what they have already lost; and also for knowing the excellent rewards that they have obtained, or will be obtained through martyrdom.
