hearts , with St . Peter ; the book of Martyrs was o |> en to them ; they read the story of William Tell , of John Huss and Jerome of Prague , and the old one-eyed Zisca ; they had Neale's History of the Puritans by heart , and Calamy's account of the Two Thousand Ejected Ministers , and gave it to their children to read
with the pictures of the polemical Baxter , the silver-tongued Bancroft , the mildlooking Calamy , and old honest Howe ; they believed in Lardner ' s Credibility of the Gospel History ; they were deep-read in the works of the Fratres Poloni , Pripscovius , Crellius , Cracovius , who sought
out truth in texts of Scripture , and grew blind over Hebrew points ; their aspiration after liberty was a sigh uttered from the towers u time-rent / ' of the Holy Inquisition ; and their zeal for religious toleration was kindled at the fires of
Smithfield . Their sympathy was not with the oppressors , but the oppressed . They cherished in their thoughts—and wished to transmit to their posterity—those rights and privileges for asserting which their ancestors had bled on scaffolds , or had pined in dungeons , or in foreign cl } mes . Their creed , too , was * glory to God , peace on
earth , good-will to man . ' This creed , since profaned and rendered vile , they kept fast through good report and evil report . This belief they had , that looks at something out of itself , fixed as the stars , deep as the firmanent ; that makes of its own heart an altar to truth , a place of worship for what is right , at which it
does reverence with praise and prayer like a holy thing , apart and content ; that feels that the greatest Being in the universe is always near it , and that all things work together for the good Of his creatures , under his guiding hand . This covenant they kept , as the stars keep their courses : this principle they stuck
by , as it sticks by them to the last . It grew with their growth , it does not wither in their decay . It lives when the almondtree flourishes , and is not bowed down with the tottering Jtnees . It glimmers with the last feeble eyesight , smiles in the faded cheek like infancy , and lights a path before them to the grave . " G . P . H 1 NTON .
