PROTESTANT MONUMENT
Some of the Protestants of England are about to erect at Oxford, by voluntary subscription, a monument in honor of three of the greatest names in the records of that age, and to be commensurate in grandeur and design, and skill in execution, with the vastness of the occasion, as well as worthy of a generous Protestant community. The following is to be the inscription:
To the Glory of God,
and in grateful commemoration of His
Servants,
Thomas Cranmer, Nicholas Ridley, Hugh Latimer,
Prelates of the Church of England,
Who, near this spot,
yielded their Bodies to be burned,
bearing witness to the sacred Truths
which they had affirmed and maintained
against the
Errors of the Church of Rome;
and rejoicing that to them it was given,
not only to believe in Christ,
but also to suffer for His sake;
This Monument
was erected by public subscription,
in the year of our Lord God,
MDCCCXXXIX.
