[For the Faith by Evelyn Everett-Green]@TWC D-Link bookFor the Faith CHAPTER XII: "Brought Before Governors" 13/19
Come what may, none can take that knowledge from me.
Whatever I may have to suffer, I shall ever have that treasure in mine heart.
And since I am no heretic in doctrine, and believe all that the canons of the church teach, how can they treat me as one who hates and would confound her? I am no follower of Martin Luther, though I hold that he is waging war in a righteous cause.
But I would see the church arise and cast forth from herself those things which defile; and more and more do her holy and pious sons agree in this, that she doth need some measure of purification, ere she can be fit to be presented to the Father as the bride of the Lamb." Dalaber was just now under the influences of Clarke rather than of Garret.
It was not only fear of what was coming upon him, though that might have some share in the matter, but he had found of late more comfort in the spiritual utterances of Clarke than in the bellicose teachings of Garret.
