Book of martyrs, or, A history of the lives, sufferings, and triumphant deaths of the primitive as well as Protestant martyrs : from the commencement of Christianity, to the latest periods of pagan and popish persecution : to which is added, an account of the Inquisition, the Bartholomew massacre, in France, the general persecution under Louis XIV, the massacre in the Irish rebellion .. 1641, and the recent persecutions of the Protestants in the south of France ... . ctance could tyrannize over the consciences of men. This leads us to the conclusion of the first year of her reign; andwe consider it the more necessary to take notice of these transactions,although not, strictly speaking, martyrdoms, that our readers might beconvinced of the great difference there is between dying for religion,and for high treason. It is history alone that can teach them suchthings, and it is reflection only that can make history useful. Wefrequently read without reflection, and study without consideration ;but the following portions of history, in particular, will furnish amplematerials for serious thought to our readers, and we entreat their atten-tion to them. SECTION 1. MARTYRDOMS IN THE SECOND YEAR OF QUEEN MARYS REIGN. The queen having satiated her malice upon those persons who hadadhered to Lady Jane Grey, she had next recourse to those old auxi-liaries of popery, fire, fagot, and the stake, hi order to convert hefheretical subjects to the true catholic Martyrdom of Rev. John Rogers. Page 289.
