Margaret Blaarer

Following is chapter II (sect. 2) from the book Famous Women of the Reformed Church written by James I. Good (1850-1924):

Not only were the wives of the reformers a great aid to the Reformation, but their sisters also. We have an illustration of this in Margaret Blaarer the sister of Ambrose Blaarer, the great reformer of Constance and Wurtemberg. In this city Huss had been burned at the stake prophesying that the Reformation would rise from his ashes. In 1527 that city rose, Phoenixlike, from his ashes to throw off the yoke of Rome; as many as twenty-three ministers preaching the gospel in the churches, out of which the Catholic priests and bishop fled from the city.

Her parents occasionally visited New Park Street Chapel, where she first was instructed in the things of God.
