Fox relates that "the registers of
London make mention of certain
Dutchmen counted for Anabaptists, of whom ten were put to death in
sundry places in the
realm,
anno 1535; other ten
repented and were saved." In 1536 King
Henry
VIII. issued a
proclamation together with articles
concerning faith agreed upon by
Convocation, in which the clergy are told
to instruct the people that they ought to repute and take "the
Anabaptists' opinions for detestable heresies and to be utterly
condemned."
Thomas
Fuller (1608-1660tells us from Stow's
Chronicles that,
in the year 1538, "four Anabaptists, three men and one woman, all
Dutch, bare faggots at Paul's Cross, and three days after a man and
woman of their sect was burnt in Smithfield." In the reign of
Edward VI., after the
return of the exiles from Zurich,
John Hooper (bishop of
Gloucester and
Worcester, d. 1555) writes
to his friend Bullinger in 1549, that he reads "a public lecture
twice in the day to so numerous an
audience that the church cannot contain them,"
and adds, "the Anabaptists
flock
to the place and give me much trouble." It would seem that at this
time they were united together in communities separate from the
established Church.

In the sixth examination
of
John
Philpot (1516-1555) in 1555 we are told that Lord Riche said to
him, "All heretics do boast of the Spirit of God, and every one
would have a church by himself, as
Joan of
Kent and
the Anabaptists." Philpot was imprisoned soon after Mary's
accession in 1553; and it is very pleasing to find, amidst the
records of intense bitterness and rancour which characterized these
times, and with which Romanist and Protestant alike assailed the
persecuted Anabaptists, a letter of Philpot's, to a friend of his,
"prisoner the same time in Newgate," who held the condemned
opinions. His friend had written to ask his judgment concerning the
baptism of infants. Philpot in a long reply, whilst maintaining the
obligation of infant
baptism, yet addresses his correspondent as, "dear brother, saint,
and fellow-prisoner for the truth of Christ's
gospel"; and at the close of his argument he
says, "I beseech thee, dear brother in the gospel, follow the steps
of the faith of the glorious martyrs in
the primitive church,
and of such as at this day follow the same." Many Anabaptist
communities existed in England toward the end of the 16th century,
particularly in
East
Anglia, Kent and London.

It was for these views that Joan
Boucher of Kent was burnt in 1550. There is no doubt that these
prepared the way for the coming of the modern Baptists, but "the
truth is that, while the Anabaptists in England raised the question
of baptism, they were almost entirely a foreign importation, an
alien element; and the rise of the
Baptist churches was wholly independent of them." II. THE Modern

The
preamble of the constitution
of this Alliance sufficiently indicates its nature: "Whereas, in
the
providence of God,
the time has come when it seems fitting more fully to
manifest the essential
oneness in the Lord Jesus Christ, as their God and Saviour, of the
churches of the Baptist order and faith throughout the world, and
to promote the spirit of fellowship, service and
co-operation among
them, while recognizing the independence of each particular church
and not assuming the functions of any existing organization, it is
agreed to form a Baptist alliance, extending over every part of the
world." This alliance does in fact include Baptists in every
quarter of the globe, as will be seen from the following
statistics: The figures for Russia include only the German-speaking
Baptists. It is impossible to ascertain the numbers of properly
Russian Baptists. Estimates
have been made which vary from 60,000 to 100, 000.
