Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Private Devotions of Dr. William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury and Martyr A reprint of this manual seemed the more necessary when so many devotional books are being published, which put forward a system of practical religion, a little refined perhaps in its details, but to all intents and purposes the same with that, in Opposition to which Archbishop Laud wrote, and acted, and in the end shed his blood. His martyrdom saved the Church at the time. The evil spirit was cast out; and though outside her walls it raged violently, and did her much harm, yet it was not able then to re-enter, so long as his body lay across the breach.
