Excerpt from Perils of Popery, Especially Considered With Reference to the United States of America
"All that has been done hitherto," said the great Saxon reformer, in answer to the fears of a timorous friend, - "All that has been done hitherto is mere play. The tumult is continually growing more and more tumultuous; nor do I think that it will ever be appeased until the last day!" "Three centuries have passed away," adds a recent historian of the Reformation, "and the tumult is not appeased yet." The battle, renewed from its temporary suspension, waxes hotter and hotter. The cessation from vigorous and general hostilities seems to have been only the dreadful pause of exhausted armies, during which they meditate new plans of attack, and ominous of a more fearful and deadly struggle. The silence for years past has been broken but by occasional rencounters; but the crisis has arrived when the embattled hosts are taking the field.
