According to old chronicles, about A. D. 1430,
a godfearing woman, named Margaret Backster,
was apprehended in England, for the truth of the
Gospel of Christ; and as she would not apostatize,
it seems, she was imprisoned until death, or put to
death in prison; which, though it has remained
partly hidden before men, God will make manifest
in that last, great and terrible day; so that those
who have secretly suffered for the name of Christ,
shall then be openly rewarded and crowned; and
those who have secretly shed the blood of the
saints, shall be banished with open shame from the
face of God, to be tormented, as they have tormented
others, yet without ceasing, for ever and
ever. Rev. 14:11. “Then shall we discern between
the righteous and the wicked.” Mal. 3:18; Wis.
5:1,2; Matt. 5:46.
