That is true in a limited sense; there were certainly men and women holding what have come to be considered distinctly Baptist principles all across the years.” c. “On this account, the Baptists may be considered as the only Christian community which has stood since the days of the apostles and as a Christian society which has preserved pure the doctrines of the Gospel through all ages.” d. “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 1,200 years past, that have been more generally punished or that have more cheerfully and steadfastly undergone, and even offered themselves to, the most cruel sorts of punishment than these people.”
