Excerpt from That Great Lying ChurchIndeed, we have the weighty authority of Historian Hume, Tory and Sceptic, for the fact that to the despised Puritans alone we owe wholly the casting out of all the major and more obdurate devils of tyranny from our boasted Constitution: 80 absolute was the authority of the Crown, that the precious spark of Liberty had been kindled and was preserved by the Puritans alone, and to this sect the English owe the whole Freedom of their Constitution. In point of fact, to tell the story of the piecemeal acquisition of that Freedom is to do little more than record how, from time to time, the talons of the Episcopal vulture have been clipped.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
