notes	Bahá'í Faith: I: 62-63. From diary of 1874: "I sat next Mr. Ronald Thompson, from Teheran, and talked to him, inter alia, about the extraordinary story of the Babis, of which Renan makes so striking a use in his Apotres, and which occurred during the earlier part of Mr. Thompson's residence at the Persian Court. He told me that seven Babis were brought before the Shah to be interrogated. The Shah said, 'We make no demand from you, except that you should pronounce the formula, 'There is no god but God, and Mahomet is his prophet.' That done, you are absolutely free and may go where you please, as you please.' They refused. The Shah then handed them over to the First Minister, telling him [to give the same offer]. The offer was made in Mr. Thompson's presence to each, and refused by all."
