Excerpt from The Age of ElizabethSome men were content with the 'old state of things, either from interested motives, or from real love' for that M form of worship in which they had been born meaning and bred. Others wished to, keep the old system but make a few alterations in it: they believed the government of the Church to be the right one, and to be, moreover, quite necessary, though they thought that it had been carelessly carried on, and needed improvement. Others declared that they could find no authority' in Scripture for the existing system of the Church, and wished to'change it altogether. Gradually men had to range themselves on one side or the other. Either they thought that in and through the Church only did man have communion with God, or they thought that Grid would receive any man who faithfully turned to Him. This was the broad distinction between the two parties we shall call Catholics and Protestants.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
