The Life of Hugh Latimer (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Life of Hugh Latimer

In the narrative of the examination and death of the martyr, the early record of Fox has been retained. It presents the involved course of the trial in as clear a light and brief a compass as could probably be otherwise secured, and tells the story of the sufferings of Ridley and Lati mer with a vividness and pathos which have given the passage a distinguished place in English literature. The space which these extracts occupy is large, but it was deemed a better service to the historical purpose of the volume, to sacrifice, in part, its claims to originality, rather than weaken the effect of a contemporary record by a modern paraphrase.
