October 16, will be the 450th anniversary of Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley's martyrdom in 1555. As they were fastened to their stakes to be burned, Latimer spoke these famous words:

Be of good cheer, Master Ridley, and play the man!
We shall this day by God's grace light such a candle in England as never to be put out!"

That is one of my favorite Christian quotes. Did you realize that nearly the same thing is said to Faithful (from Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress) just before he is martyred? I find the connection fascinating.

It is one of my favourite quotes also.
