The illustration, taken from James Aitken Wylie's renowned book "The History of Protestantism" transports us to a courtroom scene where Richard Baxter, an influential English Puritan church leader, stands before Chief Justice George Jeffreys. Baxter's resolute expression reflects his unwavering commitment to his faith as he faces judgment for his nonconformist beliefs.
