iv.
a poor woman, who wished tp redeem her son from slavery, that he offered himself to be sold into slavery in her son's place, — ^was one whose holiness and self-devotion it would be inexcu- sable for the comfortable and conventional Christians of this age to deny. But, however wide may be the catholicity of our admiration, we cannot feel specially drawn to one who in- stituted the vain and mechanical iterations of the rosary;^ to one who, however sincere in his zeal — who, however much he ma...y have been convinced that " agonies of pain and blood shed in rivers was better than the soul spotted and bewildered with fwhat he deemed to be) mor- tal sin " — ^yet comes to us with the traditions of a persecutor; looms black and ghastly to us through a century darkened with the Tophet- smoke of the Inquisition, and from the midst of men whose robes were drenched and dyed with Albigensian blood. He presented, doubt- less, a very different aspect to a different age.
