Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Rise, Progress, and Decline of the Reformation in Poland, Vol. 1 of 2: And the Influence Which the Scriptural Doctrines Have Exercised on That Country in Literary, Moral, and Political Respects The rapid progress and equally speedy decline of the Reformation in Poland presents to the Protestant reader a melancholy, but at the same time an instructive picture The Protestant cause attained in that country in the course of half a century such a degree of Strength, that its final triumph over Romanism seemed to be quite certain. Yet, notwithstanding this advantageous position, it was overthrown and nearly destroyed in the course of another half century. This extraordinary reaction was not effected by the strong hand of a legally constituted authority, as was the case in Italy, Spain and some other countries; but by a bigotted and unprincipled faction, acting not with the assistance, but in opposition to the laws of the country. Such an event is perhaps unparalleled in the annals of the religious world, and is the more remarkable, as the free institutions of Poland which had greatly facilitated the progress of the Reformation, were afterwards rendered subservient to the persecution of its disciples.
