The Miscellaneous Works of Lord Macaulay, Vol. 7: Edited by His Sister (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Miscellaneous Works of Lord Macaulay, Vol. 7: Edited by His Sister
Lucre quitted her communion. Among these apostates none was mbre active or malignant than Obadiah Walker, who was master of University College, and who had set up there, under the royal patronage, a press for printing tracts against the established religion. In one of these tracts, written apparently by Walker himself, many aspersions were thrown on Martin Luther. Atterbury undertook to defend the great Saxon Reformer, and performed that task in a manner singularly characteristic. Whoever examines his te ply to Walker will be struck by the contrast between the feebleness of those parts which are argumentative and defensive, and the vigor of those parts which are rhetorical and aggressive. The Papists were so much galled by the sarcasms and invectives of the young polemic that they raised a cry of treason, and accused him of having, by implication, called King James a Judas.
