Spiritual Heroes: Sketches of the Puritans, Their Character and Times (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Spiritual Heroes: Sketches of the Puritans, Their Character and Times

In the selection of his materials and the mode Of em ploying them, he has especially sought to interest the youthful part of the community. Earnestly would he invite them to study the lives and sufferings Of these exiled confessors and martyrs, in whose humble annals they will find much of truth to instruct their understanding, and much of romantic beauty to kindle their imaginations, (little as that quality is generally thought to be allied to Puritanism and Nonconformity, ) and much of Christian heroism to thrill their hearts and elevate their piety.
