Excerpt from An Historical Survey: Of Controversies Pertaining to the Rights of Con; Science, From the English Reformation to the Settlement of New England, 1851
The present writer has given some attention to this subject, with a View to such an undertaking. The materials are abund ant, and are not wanting in interest. Massachusetts and Vir ginia furnished the great battle-fields where the contest was most violent, but through nearly all the older states there 'were strifes su Ticiently earnest and significant. The authority of magistrates over the conscience was, both as a doctrine and a practice, too thoroughly a part of English national life, to be expelled from the forming institutions of this Western World, without long debate. Those who suffered for conscience' sake, - who declared steadfastly, through successive generations, the principles of religious liberty which Roger Williams amrmed and illustrated in Rhode Island, and won at last signal and glorious triumphs, most certainly merit a record of their deeds. Such a record, written in a spirit of candor and discrimination, and after a full examination of all available sources of informa tion, it may be believed, would be welcomed by our country men, as an important contribution to our history. The pres ent writer is not prepared to pledge himself to_such an attempt; but should no abler hand undertake it, and should Divine Providence give him life and leisure, he may, at some future period, present such an offering to the public.
