Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annals of the Persecution in Scotland, Vol. 1: From the Restoration to the Revolution The period of church history embraced in the following volume is one of intense interest, especially to the Presbyterian reader. Scotland was the great theatre of the events here recorded; a country distinguished, from early times, for its attachment to the truth, and the singular heroism of its inhabitants in braving persecution for conscience sake. In no other period can we find a more illustrious exemplification of the true genius of Presbyterianism. Its intelligence, its abhorrence of ecclesiastical despotism, its zeal in the diffusion of knowledge, its spirituality of worship, in opposition to a religion of forms and ceremonies, its ardent love for truth, and its unflinching fortitude in adhering to principle in the face of danger and death, have all been illustrated in a manner the most impressive, in the history of our Scottish forefathers. The enemies with which it then contended were at once powerful and malignant. First with Popery, whose distinguishing trait is hostility to pure and undefiled religion, and then with its congener. Prelacy, sustained by the civil power, and abetted by a world that lieth in sin, it entered the lists, and with its sole reliance on the unfailing promises of God, it contended manfully, and although often in the fires it was not consumed, and although often in the deep waters, it was not overwhelmed.
