Soul-Liberty
is the liberty to think and act in religious matters without human
dictation of control.
The chief captain said to Paul, "With a great price I obtained this
freedom." So may we say, with respect to religious freedom. The price
of it was great; a price paid in tears and toils and blood. But who
paid this price?
It is a remark of the great American historian, Bancroft, that "Freedom
of conscience, unlimited freedom of mind, was from the first, the
trophy of the Baptists."
This is a just remark; and it is the purpose of this little book,
to furnish some of these deeply interesting facts upon which such
an assertion is based. |
