Description

In attempting to write a history of the Baptists no one is more aware of the embarrassments surrounding the subject than the writer. These embarrassments arise from many sources. We are far removed from among the circumstances under survey; the representations of the Baptists were continuously made by enemies who did not scruple, when the sort of course suited their purpose, to blacken character; and hence the testimony from such sources should be received with discrimination and much allowance made for many statements; in some instances vigilant and sustained attempts were made to destroy every document in terms of these people; the material that remains is scattered through many libraries and archives, in many lands and not at all times readily accessible; continuously, as a result of persecutions, the Baptists were far more interested in hiding than they were in giving an account of themselves or their whereabouts; they were scattered through many countries, in city and cave, as they could find a place of concealment; and steadily they were called by different names by their enemies, which is confusing. Yet this can be a right royal history they have. It is well worth the telling and the preserving.
