Who was it that, at the blessed and glorious era of the Reformation, recovered, for so many lands, the light and liberty which the Papal Antichrist, during his long reign in the dark ages, had so completely taken away? It was neither the colleges of Italy, nor the chivalry of France; it was neither the philosophy of the schools, nor the power and policy of princes. It was such men as Luther, the miner's son,—and Knox, the child of parents so humble, that the very place of his birth is matter of dispute. It was such men—poor but wise men—men full of that wisdom that cometh from above, of that faith which is the victory that overcometh the world—who delivered half the cities and nations of Europe, from the soul-destroying dominion of the Man of Sin and Son of Perdition.
