# OF THE TITLE OF THIS WORK: THE BLOODY THEATRE OF THE ANABAPTISTS, etc.

Date not assigned · Historical source

Source: Martyrs’ Mirror. Original heading: OF THE TITLE OF THIS WORK: THE BLOODY THEATRE OF THE ANABAPTISTS, etc.



The first part of the title, consisting of the words,
The Bloody Theatre, will, we think, not be subjected
to any serious criticism, since no one can dispute
that all that is treated here, so far as the
martyrs are concerned, is a representation or exhibition
of the blood, suffering, and death of those
who, for the testimony of Jesus Christ, and for their
conscience’ sake, shed their blood exchanging their
life for a cruel death.

But the second part, consisting of the words, “Of
the Anabaptists,” may easily meet with some
opposition, because some will not admit that the
Anabaptists, or those who maintain such a confession
as they do, have existed through every century,
from the days of Christ up to the present time;
and, what is still more, that they have had their
martyrs. But in order to treat the matter systematically
and in the best manner, we shall first speak
of the name, and then of the thing itself.
