Fox's Book of Martyrs
Fox's Book of Martyrs
Or A History of the Lives, Sufferings, and Triumphant Deaths of the Primitive Protestant Martyrs
The object of this work, is to give a brief history of persecution since the first introduction of christianity, till the present time. In doing this, we have commenced with the martyrdom of Stephen, and following the course of events, have brought the History of persecution down to the year 1830. In all ages, we find that a disposition to persecute for opinion's sake, has been manifested by wicked men, whatever may have been their opinions or sentiments on religious subjects.
