Excerpt from An Apology for Dr. Michael Servetus, Including an Account of His Life, Persecution, Writings and Opinions: Being Designed to Eradicate Bigotry and Uncharitableness; And to Promote Liberality of Sentiment Among Christians That Calvin persecuted Servetus to prison and to death, merely for his opinions, cannot be de nied by any person who is acquainted with the ecclesiastical history of those times. Calvin's own writings prove the fact; for he attempted to defend his conduct in bringing his opponent to the flames. Many of his disciples, those who adhere to hls Opinions and call themselves after him, admit that he procured the destruction of Servetus, though they attempt to palliate his conduct; as if deliberate persecution and mur der could admit of palliation.
