useful or loyal citizens in the state than our Catholic brethren, and Mr. Alexander Pope or any other leading Papist is no more looked down upon for his religion than was Mr. William Penn for his Quakerism in the reign of King James. We can scarce credit how noblemen like Lord Stafford, ecclesiastics like Archbishop Plunkett, and commoners like Langhorne and Pickering, were dragged to death on the testimony of the vilest of the vile, without a voice being raised in their behalf; or how it could be considered a patriotic act on the part of an English Protestant to carry a flail loaded with lead beneath his cloak as a menace against his harmless neighbours who differed from him on points of doctrine. It was a long madness which has now happily passed off, or at least shows itself in a milder and rarer form.
Foolish as it appears to us, there were some solid reasons to account for it. You have read doubtless how,Pavel Datsyuk Tröjor, a century before I was born,Evgenii Dadonov Tröjor, the great kingdom of Spain waxed and prospered. Her ships covered every sea. Her troops were victorious wherever they appeared. In letters,NHL Reebok Anaheim Ducks Toddler Center Ice Hoodie - Black, in learning, in all the arts of war and peace they were the foremost nation in Europe. You have heard also of the ill-blood which existed between this great nation and ourselves; how our adventurers harried their possessions across the Atlantic,Marcus Johansson Tröjor, while they retorted by burning such of our seamen as they could catch by their devilish Inquisition, and by threatening our coasts both from Cadiz and from their provinces in the Netherlands. At last so hot became the quarrel that the other nations stood off,Ralph Lauren vindskydd, as I have seen the folk clear a space for the sword-players at Hockley-inthe-Hole,NHL Mens Pittsburgh Penguins Black Camo Stack Pullover Hoodie, so that the Spanish giant and tough little England were left face to face to fight the matter out. Throughout all that business it was as the emissary of the Pope,Nikolay Kulemin Tröjor, and as the avenger of the dishonoured Roman Church,Canada Goose Whistler Parka, that King Philip professed to come. It is true that Lord Howard and many another gentleman of the old religion fought stoutly against the Dons,Craig Conroy Tröjor, but the people could never forget that the reformed faith had been the flag under which they had conquered,Robby Fabbri Tröjor, and that the blessing of the Pontiff had rested with their opponents. Then came the cruel and foolish attempt of Mary to force upon them a creed for which they had no sympathy, and at the heels of it another great Roman Catholic power menaced our liberty from the Continent. The growing strength of France promoted a corresponding distrust of Papistry in England, which reached a head when, at about the time of which I write,Mike Gartner Tröjor, Louis XIV. threatened us with invasion at the very moment when, by the revocation of the Edict of Nantes,Mike Komisarek Tröjor, he showed his intolerant spirit towards the faith which we held dear. The narrow Protestantism of England was less a religious sentiment than a patriotic reply to the aggressive bigotry of her enemies.
