Stephen Bachiler An Unforgiven Puritan Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Stephen Bachiler: An Unforgiven PuritanIn the hundred years I have mentioned Puritanism made its first successful stand against the English church, which still clung to Romish superstition. They saw, those golden years, the imperishable dramas of Shakespeare unfolded to the world, the lofty verse of Milton, the graceful muse of Jonson, and the brilliant philosophy of Bacon.
