Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Reformation in the Sixteenth Century The author had no idea, however, of writing a book of devotion; his intention was to write a History. He wished to represent faithfully the men and the events of the Sixteenth Century. With this object he studied the writings of the Reformers, and the chronicles of their contemporaries. He made researches in the public and in the private libraries in different countries. He deciphered many manuscripts of the Sixteenth Century, several of which were unknown till he made use of them. But he felt that, in order to accomplish his object, it was not enough simply to give a chronicle of facts. That which constituted the great wonder of the Reformation, was the setting forth of God's truth in the midst of human error - the breath of heaven, that blew upon the Church, and quickened into life so many of the Lord's servants. To shut oneself into a study and pore over manuscripts, was not enough to enable him to write this History; it was necessary to know the true springs of the work, of which the Reformers were the instruments.
