"If the truth of religion were to be judged by the readiness and boldness of which a man of any sect shows in suffering, then the opinion and persuasion of no sect can be truer and surer than that of the ANABAPTISTS, since there have been none for these twelve hundred years past that have been more generally punished - than these people."Get that will you! The Catholic president of the Council of Trent, who wrote in 1554, dates the Anabaptists back twelve hundred years beyond the time he wrote. That is a startling admission.
