THERE are certain facts in history which the world tries hard to forget and ignore. These facts get in the way of some of the world’s favourite theories, and are highly inconvenient. The consequence is that the world shuts its eyes against them. They are either cut dead as vulgar intruders, or passed by as tiresome bores. Little by little they sink out of sight of the students of history, like ships in a distant horizon, or are left behind like a luggage train in a siding. Of such facts the subject of this paper is a vivid example:—“The Burning of our English Reformers; and the Reason why they were Burned.”
Ryle takes us back into the secret chambers of Church history to examine one of the dark subjects which is not often spoken of; the burning of some of the great Reformers whose names are unfortunately unknown to most present-day Christians. It is prudent that these men not become extinct to our minds but rather that they be resurrected not only in regard to their horrible end but especially the reason they met a fiery death for the sake of Christ.
