He was contemporaneous with Roger Williams, and was followed by John Milton, William Penn, and John Locke. Not one of them grasped the subject more completely than he did; and when we consider that he was zealously engaged in religious discussions, and enthu- siastically devoted to what he thought the truth, we can hardly hesitate to jdeld to him APPENDIX C. 169 the glorious distinction of having to a degree that was never surpassed, if ever equalled, comprehended in theory, and developed in pr...actice throughout his whole life the sacred principles of Christian toleration and religious liberty. As writers and as statesmen. Vane and Williams seem to deserve the glory of the earhest promulgation of the principles of toleration. They understood them, in their whole extent, as applicable not only to Chris- tians, but to all men of whatever religion.'' Charles W, Upham's ^^Life of Sir Henry Vane,'' pp. 69, 70. *'At the same time came Henry Vane, the younger, a man of the purest mind; a states- man of spotless integrity; whose name the progress of intelligence and liberty will erase from the rubric of fanatics and traitors, and insert high among the aspirants after truth and the martyrs for liberty.
