Book excerpt: The story of the following pages is one of the least known yet saddest episodes in English history—the first persecution of Christians by Christians in this land.

The spirit of her who is drunk with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus is the same now that it was then. She does not ask if a man agrees with the Word of God, but whether he agrees with her. "When the Church has spoken"—this has been said by exalted ecclesiastical lips quite recently—"we cannot appeal to Scripture against her!"
