Excerpt from English Puritanism and Its Leaders: Cromwell Milton Baxter Bunyan
Britain was the national soil in which the seeds of the Reformation were destined to take the deepest and most enduring root. Germany did far more to origin ate and strengthen the movement in its beginnings; France, in many of its highest minds, showed a more ready receptivity and welcome to the new religious ideas; England could boast neither a Luther nor a Calvin: but the spiritual impulses out of which the movement grew, and which constituted its real life and strength, found in the anglo-saxon character their most congenial seat, their highest afiinities, their most solid nutriment. Slowly, and under many hindrances, they spread, unaided by the powerful influence of any great teacher, but sinking always more into the depths of this character, and gaining a firmer hold of it. While dying out in Germany, and hardly able to maintain themselves in France against the fierce odds with which they had to contend, they continued to propagate and gather force in England amidst all obstacles, and only attained, after the lapse of a cen tury, and under many modifications of struggle and conquest, to their full development.
