The police of marriage has its martyrology. We will cite but one instance which will make plain how necessary it is for husbands who resort to severe measures to keep watch over themselves as well as over their wives.
It was my blessed privilege, four years since, to abridge into two moderate sized volumes the English Martyrology, as recorded by Foxe.
It may be questioned whether the martyrology of any nation in history can exhibit anything more noble, more edifying more elevating and inspiring than the last hours of these doomed Irishmen. Their every thought, their every utterance, was full of tenderness and holiness full of firmness and cheerful acceptance of God's will.
What pity it is, that the labours of painting should have been so much employed on the shocking subjects of the martyrology.
The Dutchess of Suffolk, an historical play 1631. For the play see Fox's Martyrology, p. 521. The English Traveller, a tragi-comedy, acted at the Cock-pit in Drury-lane, 1633, dedicated to Sir Henry Appleton, the plot from Plautus Mostellaria. A Maidenhead well lost, a comedy acted in Drury-lane, 1634.
Royalty was abolished by acclamation. No objections were made to this great change; and no reasons were assigned for it. For certainly we cannot honor with the name of reasons such apothegms, as that kings are in the moral world what monsters are in the physical world; and that the history of kings is the martyrology of nations.
To-day, in four huge volumes of some thousand pages each, one may read the testimony, heart-sickening in every detail, a noted French political economist, the Comte d'Haussonville, describing it, in a recent article in "La Revue des deux Mondes" as "The Martyrology of English Industries." In such conditions inspection is inoperative.
From the clear evidence of writers like Sir Thomas More, Lord Chancellor of England and one of the best informed men of his time, of Cranmer, the first Protestant Archbishop of Canterbury, and of Foxe the author of the so-called Martyrology, it can be established beyond the shadow of a doubt that prior to the Reformation there existed an English Catholic version of the Scriptures, which was approved for use by the ecclesiastical authorities.
I remember that, by one of those chances which seems like predestination, we got hold of a great Martyrology, in which the most curious narratives are given of the total abeyance of physical life which a man can attain to under the paroxysms of the inner life.
John Milton, John Fox, author of the Martyrology, and John Speed, the chronologer, rest in this City churchyard. In the hope of getting some clue to the missing data, I ventured to make a second call upon Mr.
