Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Ecclesiastical History of Ireland, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Introduction of Christianity Into That Country to the Year MDCCXXIV
It is not, however, in the origin so much as in the triumphant progress of this Church, that its history becomes interesting. Centuries in rapid succession have rolled on; the works of man, after 'flourishing for a time, decayed and disappeared, but this supernatural work has continued as fair and as vigorous as ever. The Church of Ireland, it is true, has had seasons of serenity, but it had also been doomed to endure the tempest and has passed through an ordeal of trial and persecution.
