David Carnegie Andrew Agnew, Protestant Exiles from France… (1886)
“ There was a large number of noblemen and gentlemen, not only patient and stedfast in prisons and galleys, but also glorying in their lot. Their cases were known to many of the public, and their death would have evoked sympathy for their religion, and indignation against their persecutors. Many other noblemen and gentlemen, who had made a formal abjuration, had openly resumed the Protestant profession, and notwithstanding the sanguinary law against relapsed heretics, they were determined that they would not abjure a second time. ”
