Excerpt from Protestantism: The Parent and Guardian of Civil and Religious Liberty , a Lecture, Delivered, March 26, 1843, Under Appointment of the N. Y. Protestant Reformation Society"And I saw another Angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people. - And there followed another angel saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen." - Rev. Xiv., 6, 8.On the nineteenth day of April, fifteen hundred and thirty-nine, an august assembly met in solemn deliberation in the city of Spires in Germany. It was composed of princes of the Germanic empire, and commissioners from its imperial cities. Its presiding officer was the brother, and representative of the Emperor Charles the Fifth, and there was present, also, a special legate of the reigning Pope, who took a prominent part in its proceedings.The great subject under consideration was the reform in religion, which Luther and his coadjutors had been attempting for a few years past, and which now began to command universal attention.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
