Gradually the mild and patient disciple of Jesus was changed, by cruelty and injustice, into the undaunted but fierce confessor of tenets which he knew hazarded his life; and ere a man arose capable of appreciating Christianity as a system, its professors had been well nigh tortured out of the character which seems to have recommended them chiefly to his notice.
