Book Description

Excerpt from The British Magazine, and Monthly Register of Religious and Ecclesiastical Information, Parochial History, and Documents Respecting the State of the Poor, Progress of Education, &C., 1837, Vol. 12 There is another quotation from another author which I am unwil ling to pretermit; because it contains so much deep and practical wisdom, and is so well calculated to be a guide to any scholar who should undertake the work here recommended, that he would be in danger of error should the suggestions escape him.

Jewel, has in his preface these observations relative to the repre scutations of Romanists respecting their treatment under Elizabeth But there is some allowance to be made for the misinformation of strangers, who, being separated fi'om us by the ocean, were forced to take such accounts as were given them by others and 1. Being too apt to believe the reports of their own priests, whose interest it was to blackeu her, (the church of England, ) what they could; and 2. Those of our own fugitives, who made the case much worse than they themselves thought it, that they might obtain the more pity, and consequently the better relief and provision abroad, which is wont to be afl'orded to all those that fly for religion, amongst those of the same faith; 3. And also suspecting the fidelity of the relations made by our ministers in foreign courts; 4. And of all our travellers who stuck to and embraced the religion established by law.
