Excerpt from The Waldenses: Sketches of the Evangelical Christians of the Valleys of PiedmontThe records of these infamous crusades constitute some of the blackest chapters even in the history of that power, which an inspired pen has delineated as being drunk with the blood of the saints. The narrative, therefore, is necessarily a sad one. But it has its alleviations. N 0 other annals supply instances of more generous and sublime heroism, than are to be found here. It is something for the Christian to be able to point to a church, which has, from century to century, exemplified the power of the Gospel, as well to sustain individuals and communities in scenes of the deepest suffering, as to guard them against the common dangers and temptations of life. And the devout observer of Divine Providence, may find here new cause to admire and adore the sovereignty and the faith fulness of Him who is wonderful in council and excellent in working. It is not, therefore, surprising that enlight ened Protestants of every name and country, have always taken the liveliest interest in the history of this most re markable people.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
