Cujus regio^ ejus reltgio. Were ever more blasphe- mous and insulting words huiled in the face of mankind ?
Yet this was accepted as the net result of the Reformation, so far as priests and princes could settle the account. This was the ingenious com- promise by which it was thought possible to re- move tLe troublesome question of religion for ever from the sphere of politics.
Oi0U'9 regiOj ejus religio! Could it be doubted that the ancient Church would seize this weapon from the Protestant han...ds which had forged it, and smite every people with it that struggled for eman- cipation? Not freedom of religion, but freedom of princes to prescribe religion to their slaves — ^for this so many tens of thousands had died on the battle- field, or been burned, and buried alive !
And it was sincerely hoped and believed that 28 humanity could be thus remanded to its dungeon, buffeted, flouted, jeered out of its . rights, and the padlock placed for ever on the immortal mind.
And truly to those who reckon history by the year, who find the record of man's progress only in political annals, how dreary must seem, our fate!
