The First Blast of the Trumpet is a book written by John Knox, a Scottish theologian and Protestant reformer, in 1558. The book is a call to arms for the Protestant Reformation movement and argues that women should not be allowed to rule over men. Knox's argument is based on his interpretation of biblical texts and his belief that God has ordained men to be the leaders of society. The book caused controversy when it was first published, as it challenged the authority of Queen Mary I of England, who was a Catholic ruler. The book also had a significant impact on the development of Protestantism in Scotland and England. It is considered a classic work of Protestant theology and a landmark in the history of the Reformation movement.And as concerning the danger which may hereof ensue, I am not altogether so brutish and insensible, but that I have laid my account, what the finishing of the work may cost me for my own part. First, I am not ignorant how difficult and dangerous it is to speak against a common error, especially when the ambitious minds of men and women are called to the obedience of God's simple commandment. For to the most part of men, whatsoever antiquity has received appears lawful and godly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
