Five Short Stories of French Protestants

From an early period of the Reformation, the Protestants of France, although embracing many of the nobility, were assailed by the most relentless persecutions. The Church of Rome has ever been the enemy of the light, and has never hesitated, where it possessed the power, to employ force and violence to prevent its diffusion.  Many had the courage to declare openly, in the presence of the enemies of the gospel, that they were resolved to live – or die – for their faith.

3. Jean Migault, the Reader of Moulle
4. M. Le Fevre, the prisoner of the galleys
5. M. De Marolles, the exile arrested in his flight
