Book excerpt: Excerpt from Martyrologia, or Records of Religious Persecution, Vol. 1: Being a New and Comprehensive Book of Martyrs, of Ancient and Modern Times AM a period like the present, when the Man of Sin is rallying his energies in order to renew his tarnished glory, and his almost forgotten power; when monastic institutions are in various parts of Great Britain rearing their heads, and nume rous indefatigable efforts made to gain proselytes from among the uneducated masses of the community; when members of the Imperial Parliament are standing forward as the avowed champions of the Papacy, having apostatized from the religion of their fathers, and sought refuge in the Church of Rome; when individuals connected with the ecclesiastical hierarchy of England have not only avowed friendship, and positive attach ment, to the damnable errors of the Papacy, but have either Openly, and without hesitation, renounced Protestantism and served at Popish altars, or maintained a cowardly and traitorous connexion with the English Reformed Church; and when, even while we are writing, a measure is undergoing discussion in the Senate, on the expediency of establishing diplomatic relations with the Court of Rome; it will scarcely be thought unseasonable or improper to call the attention of the Protestant public to the means by which the Church of Rome acquired her extraordinary power, and also to the spirit with which that power has been exercised. In the Records of Religious Persecution which are now presented to the public, great care has been taken, in order that the volumes shall be adapted to the present condition of the religious world, and that due regard shall be paid to the accuracy of the statements which may be made, and to the authorities which may be adduced; the whole being intended to furnish those who do not possess the entire work of John Foxe with a portable and carefully-prepared book of martyrs, on which our readers may rely with confidence.
