Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 25: May, 1890While confined in the dungeon the condi tions were such that it was imprudent to con verse aloud ou the subjects in which they were so much concerned, resulting from their perilous situation they accordingly explained their feelings to each other by means of writ ing letters and receiving replies.Ridley, keenly sensing the ordeal he had to go through and that he needed strength, wrote to Latimer thus: For surely, except the Lord assists me with His gracious aid in the time of His service, I know I shall play but the part of a white-livered knight. But truly my trust is in Him, that in my infirmity He shall make me strong and that He can make the coward in His cause to fight like a man.In reply, Latimer said Except the Lord help me, you say the truth, it is vain for me to strive. 'for without me, ' saith He, 'you can do nothing, much less suffer death by your adversaries, ' through the bloody law now prepared against us. But it followeth, 'if you abide in me, and my word abide in you, ask what ye will and it shall be done for you.' What can be more comforting!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
