The Baptist Edition Part V
In all our history no name shines with a purer light than his whose memorial we have lately placed in the Capital. In the history of all the world there is no more striking example of a man grasping a grand idea, at once, in its full proportions, and all the completeness, and carrying it out, unflinchingly, to its remotest legitimate results. Roger Williams did not merely lay the foundations of religious freedom, he constructed the whole edifice, in all its impregnable strength, and in all its imperishable beauty....The religious freedom, which now, by general consent, underlies the foundation principles of civilized government.
- Senator Henry Anthony, official dedication of the statue of Roger Williams at the national capitol, 1872
...A most flourishing civil state may stand and best be maintained and that among our English subjects, with a full liberty in religious concernments.
- John Clarke
Thus for the first time in history, a form of government (Rhode Island) was adopted which drew a clear and unmistakable line between the temporal and the spiritual power, and a community came into being which was an anomaly among the nations.
- Professor J. L. Diman
...[I]t may be asserted that the future of America was in a large measure determined by that General Court which summoned Roger Williams to answer for "divers news and dangerous opinions", and his banishment became a pivotal act in universal history.
- Alonzo Williams
...[I]f I were asked whom to hold before the American people and the world to typify the American spirit of fairness, of freedom, of liberty in Church and State, I would without any hesitation select...the great and immortal Roger Williams. He became a Baptist...a community and a church which is famous for never having stained its hands with the blood of persecutors.
- Oscar S. Straus, first Jew to serve in a US presidential cabinet position

FREEDOM QUOTES VOL. XLV
The Baptist Edition Part IV
John Locke's letters on religious toleration and the freedom of conscience explicitly influenced the thought of James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, two founders who played such an important role in working out early legislative formulations of freedom. And Locke's ideas, in turn, are, with one or two exceptions, simply restatements of the central arguments in favor of freedom of conscience developed by Roger Williams in the middle of the seventeenth century, when Locke's opinions on these subjects were being shaped.
- David Little, Conscience, Theology and the First Amendment
...[T]his Declaration of Independence [is] considered as the ground and foundation of a future government.
- John Hancock
In England, from the time of Henry VIII to William III, a full century and a half, the Baptists struggled to gain their footing and to secure liberty of conscience for all. From 1611 they issued appeal after appeal, addressed to the King, the Parliament, and the people in behalf of "soul liberty", written with a breadth of view and force of argument hardly since exceeded.
- Appleton's American Encyclopedia, Vol. II
...The principles which he [Roger Williams] first sustained...he soon found occasion to publish to the world, and to defend as the basis of the religious freedom of mankind.
- George Bancroft, History of the United States, vol. 1, 1879
The political history of the United States after 1689 has essentially been the extension of Roger Williams' view of civil government, as opposed to John Winthrop's.
- Gary North [North favors a Puritanical view of history, and is not in favor of Williams, Clarke or any of the Baptists], Political Polytheism, 1989

World welcomes Obama win
By JILL LAWLESS/Associated Press Writer
...Obama has made himself unpopular in Pakistan by saying the United States should act alone on information about terrorist targets within the country's national borders, leading some to believe he will be worse for the country than Bush. "Obama has threatened attacks against us even before becoming the president, and he will be more dangerous compared to Bush," said Ibrar Ahmad, 34, a lecturer at the Government College in Multan. And in the Middle East, there was skepticism that an Obama presidency would change an American foreign policy viewed by most Muslims as staunchly pro-Israel.

FREEDOM QUOTES VOL. XLIV
The Baptist Edition Part III
Thus for the first time in history a form of government was adopted which drew a clear and unmistakable line between the temporal and the spiritual power, and a community came into being which was an anomaly among the nations.
- Professor J. L. Diman on the Baptists and the founding of Rhode Island
In the code of laws established by them [Roger Williams and John Clarke], we read for the first time since Christianity ascended the throne of the Caesars, the declaration that conscience should be free and men should not be punished for worshiping God in the way they were persuaded He requires.
- Joseph Story on the founding of Rhode Island
I make bold to say that these Separate Baptists have proved to be the most remarkable body of Christians America has known.
- George Washington Paschal, History of North Carolina Baptists vol. 1, 1930
Ideas rule the world. A denomination is moulded by its ruling principles, just as a nation is thus moulded and just as individual life is thus moulded. Our fundamental essential principles have made our Baptist people, of all ages and countries, to be the unyielding protagonists of religious liberty, not only for themselves, but for everybody else as well.
- George W. Truett
The plebeian sect of Anabaptists, "the scum of the Reformation," with greater consistency than Luther applied the doctrine of the Reformation to the social relations of life and threatened an end to kingcraft spiritual dominion, tithes and vassalage. They were trodden under foot with foul reproaches and most arrogant scorn; and its history is written in the blood of myriads of the German peasantry; but its principles, safe in their immortality, escaped to Providence.
- George Bancroft, History of the United States, Vol. 2, 1879
To the advocacy and propagation of the principles here presented, our country owes all it possesses of true greatness. American principles are, essentially, Baptist principles, and this is owing to the fact that Baptist principles have impressed themselves upon the nation, as the only principles consistent with government...recognizing the universal right to civil and religious liberty.
- Dr. J. Q. Adams, Baptists, The Only Thorough Religious Reformers

FREEDOM QUOTES VOL. XLIII
The Baptist Edition Part II
Novatian held that apostacy was a sin which disqualified them from again entering into church fellowship, and to secure a pure community, he formed a separate church, which elected him for its pastor. These purer churches multiplied, and continued in existence for more than three centuries, the members being everywhere looked upon as Puritans [not to be confused with English Puritans] and Dissenters. They were Anabaptists, baptising again all who had been immersed by the orthodox and corrupt church. The Novatians, then, were Baptists.
- Charles H. Spurgeon
...[T]he Emperor at the same time issued an edict whereby he called upon the North African Christians to return back to the unity of the church. Of the failure of this convert scheme for gaining the Donatists, forcible measures were the next resort. The Donatists now were to be deprived of their churches, and they were actually fallen upon by armed troops while assembled in them for the worship of God. Hence followed the effusion of blood, [beginning in AD 347] and the martyrdoms of which the Donatists so often complained of their adversaries.
- David Benedict, History of the Donatists, 1875
A late author, Rev. Mr. Patilloe, in giving an account of the rise of other societies, says, "the Baptists made their appearance in Germany, soon after the Reformation began." Has the good Mr. Patilloe got this by wrote, hearing of it so often? or has the judicious pen of Mr. Smith [John B. Smith, president of Hampden-Sydney College] helped him out in a dead lift? ...let the Rev. gentleman remember, that the Baptists can produce sacred proof for their appearance in Judea, about fifteen hundred years before those tumults in Germany.
- John Leland, 1780, The Writings of Elder John Leland
When Clarke, the pure and tolerant Baptist of Rhode Island...began to preach to a small audience in Lynn, he was seized by the civil officers.... He and his companions were tried, and condemned to pay a fine of twenty or thirty pounds; and Holmes, who refused to pay his fine, was whipped unmercifully.
