Hebrews 11:36

Heb. 11:36. And others had trial of (cruel) mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

These episodes also are incorporated into The History of Redemption :

But the most wonderful preservation of of them all, in this period, was under the cruel persecution of Antiochus Epiphanes…. [He] profaned the temple in all parts of it by setting up his idols in it, and persecuted the people with insatiable cruelty, so that we have no account of an persecution like them before…. These persecutions are also spoken of in the New Testament, as in the eleventh [chapter] of Hebrews, thirty-sixth through thirty-eighth verses ["And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings…. they wandered about…. being destitute... They wandered in deserts and in mountains"].

And they make up part of the argument in Religious Affections :

Argument 2. As reason shows that those things which occur in the course of life, that put it to the proof whether men will prefer God to other things in practice, are the proper trial of the uprightness and sincerity of their hearts; so the same are represented as the proper trial of the sincerity of professors in the Scripture. There we find that such things are called by that very name, trials or temptations (which I before observed are both words of the same signification). The things that put it to the proof whether men will prefer God to other things in practice, are the difficulties of religion, or those things which occur that make the practice of duty difficult and cross to other principles beside the love of God; because in them, God and other things are both set before men together, for their actual and practical choice; and it comes to this, that we can't hold to both, but one or the other must be forsaken. And these things are all over the Scripture called by the name of trials or proofs. And they are called by this name, because hereby professors are tried and proved of which sort they be, whether they be really what they profess and appear to be; and because in them, the reality of a supreme love to God is brought to the test of experiment and fact; they are the proper proofs, in which it is truly determined by experience, whether men have a thorough disposition of heart to cleave to God or no….

Blank Bible (crossed out):

They were tempted.] i.e. In the midst of their torments their cruel persecutors added earnest solicitations, persecutions fair tempting promises and the like if they would desert the cause they suffered for which was verified in Antiochus Epiphanes.
