THE GREAT EJECTION 1662

Great preachers' names, we here recall,
Who faced the harshest storm.
So willingly they gave up all,
Refusing to conform.

Hounded from home, these men of prayer
Were driv'n from place to place.
Shepherds, they wandered here and there
Eager to preach God's grace.

They gave themselves to God aware
They walked knee deep in mud.
To serve they'd promised, foul or fair,
They'd wade waist deep in blood.

I began this blog in 2007 and it can be found here There are over two hundred posts there at present. The blog is the basis of the book on the Great Ejection 1662 that I advertise there. That came out in connection with the 450th anniversary in 2012. I quote J C Ryle in a  side panel

A more impolitic and disgraceful deed never disfigured the annals of a Protestant Church ... an injury to the cause of true religion in England, which will probably never be repaired ... We ought to know something about the subject, because it serves to throw immense light on the history of our unhappy religious divisions in this country.

Most popular post is a short one explaining what this is all about and headed Act of Uniformity 1662
