Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of the Church of Christ, Vol. 5: Containing a Continuation of the Sixteenth Century
A full conviction, that in our times the principles and motives of L U'l' H E a are not well understood, induced me to bring forward, in the preceding Volume, a number of authentic docu ments, which have been either entirely omitted, or imperfectly stated, by Historians. The approbation with which my endeavours to elucidate this part of Ecclesiastical history have been received, has encouraged me to spare no pains in attempting to place in its true light the character of the Saxon Reformer; and though the Reader may at first be surprised that a Volume of so many pages should bring down this History of the Church of Christ only to the Diet of Augsburg in 1530, I have no fear that, when he has perused the work, he will think either the writer prolix, or the matter unimportant.
A mere cursory inspection of the Volume will convince him, that every Chapter contains ma terials which distinguish this History from all others.
