Explore "The Reformation" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
At the Reformation, the first reformers were beset with an almost morbid / anxiety not to be considered heretical in point of doctrine. They knew that / the Romanists were on the watch to fasten the brand of heresy upon them / whenever a fair pretext could be found; and I have no doubt it was the / excess of this fear which at once led to the burning of Servetus, and also / to the thanks offered by all the Protestant churches, to Calvin and the / Church of Geneva, for burning him.
