Read the Introduction by Rev. Robert Maguire, D. D.

Malice in the county of Envy

"Persecutors who are influenced by malice. These are the guilty persecutors, whose spirit comes of sin. These know the truth, but hate it; see the light, but come not to it; and with malice prepense pursue good men to death. These are they who seek to fulfill their lust of blood upon the servants of the Most High—the Blood-men of the past history of the Church and people of God. Well did the soul cry out to the Prince against this danger, 'Lord, save Mansoul from bloody men!'"[2]
