But not the shadow which that light would cast
Till shadows vanish in the Light of light.”
With this thought in our minds we will turn to the next period of English history.
CHAPTER VI
THE HOUSE OF TUDOR
“Fair is our lot—O goodly is our heritage!
(Humble ye, my people, and be fearful in your mirth!)
For the Lord our God Most High
He hath made the deep as dry,
He hath smote for us a pathway to the ends of all the earth.”
Rudyard Kipling (The Seven Seas).
