Fox's Book of Martyrs: A History of the Lives, Sufferings, and Triumphant Deaths of the Primitive Protestant Martyrs (Primitive Protestant Martyrs - Christian Martyrs)

Fox's Book of Martyrs or A History of the Lives, Sufferings, and Triumphant Deaths of the Primitive Protestant Martyrs. From the Introduction of Christianity to the Latest Periods of Pagan, Popish, and Infidel Persecutions. 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. The intolerant jew, and the bigoted pagan, have exhibited no more of a persecuting spirit, than the nominal professor of christianity, and the infidel and the avowed atheist.
