History has not been kind to those who refuse to submit to a state-church. Even in this country, the USA, this monstrosity of a state-church ran roughshod over 
those who would not bow the knee.
In colonial America, three Baptists were arrested for speaking about their doctrine over supper at a boarding house near Boston. John Clark wrote his book, Ill News From New England in the mid-17th century. An edition with updated English (shorter sentences and paragraphs, word changes) is now available in paper and digital format.

Thank you for sharing about this book, Manfred. Sadly, we never seem to learn from our mistakes. Let the government offer any kind of freebies and the church runs after it like a pig to slop, then wants to cry when the government comes looking for their delayed payment.
