Explore "Puritans and Jacobins" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
It was God's mercy to our age that our Jacobins were infidels and a scandal / to all sober Christians. Had they been like the old Puritans, they would / have trodden church and king to the dust -- at least for a time.
For one mercy I owe thanks beyond all utterance, -- that, with all my gastric / and bowel distempers, my head hath ever been like the head of a mountain in / blue air and sunshine.
