Without making any real examination Of the facts, historians went on for centuries contentedly repeating the interested and deceitful account Of the matter given by Lord Burghley, who was himself the chief actor in effecting that extinction Â— and thus it came at last to be regarded as a fixed tradition to be accepted without question, that, excepting one or two, the ousted Prelates had been pleasantly allowed to end their lives in comfortable ease and quiet. The writer (who at the time had only heard the above stereotyped version Of the story) well remembers his Sur prise On being Shown in younger days, in the Library Of his College, the picture placed here as frontispiece, with its inscription recording the death Of the Eleven Bishops from their sufferings in prison for the faith. What? He asked, did eleven Bishops really die in prison, and, though assured at the time that there must have been some exaggeration, the impression made upon him did not quickly vanish.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
