The Jesuit Martyrs of Japan : A History of the Lives and Martyrdom of Paul Michi, James Chisai, and John Soan de Goto, of the Society of Jesus (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Jesuit Martyrs of Japan: A History of the Lives and Martyrdom of Paul Michi, James Chisai, and John Soan De Goto, of the Society of Jesus

For sake of greater clearness, I divide this brief history into two parts. In the first I will give the life of the three holy Martyrs, taking it from authentic and trustworthy memoirs, and also from the more elaborate writings of Nierembergh, Alegambe, the Bollandists, and other authors. In the second part I will nar rate' the causes which originated the persecution and under the same head I will recount distinctly the Acts of the Martyrs, in the very words of that most exquisite and elegant narrative which; has been handed down to us by Father Daniel Bartoli, in his History of Japan.
