But there is no need for going back as far as the sixteenth century, or even for recalling the horrible atrocities committed against the Catholics in England, to furnish pendants to the Spanish Inquisition among the Protestants. A singular case of this kind is recorded by Pfeil- * Schrockh : Neuere Kirchengeschichte, vol. V. P. 517. 328 THE LIFE OF schifter of a young soldier, who, convicted of having entered into a pact with the devil, was, at Rends- burg, in Holstein, in the year 1724, decapi...tated by the mercy of the king. Nay, even in our days, that is, on the 3rd April, 1844, the painter J. O. Nilson, for having apostatized and embraced a heretic religion (the Catholic), was banished from Sweden, his civil and hereditary rights declared for- feited, and this judgment confirmed by the highest tribunal of the land. The unfortunate Nilson died in misery at Copenhagen, in February, 1847. This is not intended as a reproach. Our only object is to show, that the Protestants had also adopted the sanguinary principle, that " deviation from the Church of the country is to be punished by death ;" and that Sweden adheres to this doctrine, slightly modified, to the present day.
