Présentation de l'éditeur

Chapter I. THE HERALDS OF PROTESTANTISM. 1. The Reformation, like all great historical movements, was of slow and unattractive development. Long in coming into notice, it was equally long in finding its champions. The cause was waiting for its men, and when the need was supreme they appeared, with heroic spirit, great organizing genius, and amazing power of endurance. Protestantism was an oak of young and vigorous growth in the first quarter of the 16th century, but its roots lay deep in the soil of the 14th. haJR efprmation possessed two characteristics one national, with all the individuality that might be expected of race and land; the other cosmopolitan, having general fibre and color, always the same, whatever the country or people, from Norway to the A lps, and from Transylvania to the Bay of Biscay. The Reformation has proved to be the chief turning-point in modem history. It is that great religious and intellectual revolution which marks the fboundary-line between the Middle A ges and the Modf ern Period. The call for regeneration was deep and loud. Superstition had become interwoven with the I pure doctrine of the Gospel.
