Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Letter to the Right Rev. L. Silliman Ives, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the State of North Carolina: Occasioned by His Late Address to the Convention of His Diocese
History tells us of a certain Bishop who was taken prisoner in battle, while fighting against the King of France. The Pope, indignant that a prelate of the church should be held as a captive, demanded his instant liberation. To this mandate the King replied by sending his Holiness the Bishop's blood-stained armor, with the words of Scripture, This have we found know now, whether it be thy son's coat or no.
