""Treatise XI Exhortation To Martyrdom Addressed To Fortunatus"" is a religious text written by Cyprian, a prominent bishop and theologian in the early Christian Church. The book is an exhortation to Fortunatus, a fellow Christian, to remain steadfast in his faith and be willing to suffer persecution and even death for it. Cyprian argues that martyrdom is a noble and honorable act, and that those who die for their beliefs will be rewarded in the afterlife. He draws on examples from the Bible and from the lives of other martyrs to illustrate his points. The book is written in a persuasive and passionate style, and is intended to inspire and encourage Christians to remain faithful in the face of adversity.4. That God does not easily pardon idolaters.
