Our martyrs have given their testimonies by giving their lives in old England, and by many forms of suffering in New England. (^^^^^ ^- They have been imprisoned in Virginia and in other States, and evermore the blood of the martyrs has been the seed of the church. It was not uncommon in [ 33 ] ZTbeBaptieta Virginia when Baptists were observing the ordinance of baptism, that efforts were made not only to throw ridicule on the divine ordinance, but to drown those who were thus obedient to Christ.... We do not forget the brave Ireland and the Culpeper jail in Virginia. His preaching through the bars of that jail resulted in the conversion of many souls, and when the jail was torn down a Baptist church was erected on its ruins. We do not forget the persecutions endured by John Clarke, Obadiah Holmes, and James Crandall, because of their advocacy of the doctrine of religious liberty and their persistent denial of infant baptism as scrip- tural. They were arrested on the Lord's Day, July 2, 1657, at the house of William Witter, in the town of Lynn, Mass.
