§. 6. Of the Churches assaults in this world.
GODS true Church is subject to assaults in this world. Every age from the beginning of the world giveth too evident demonstration hereof. Thus much was at first prefigured by Cains rising up against Abel, and slaying him: (Gen. 4. 8.) & the like hath been verified time after time, even 1till this our time. Fitly in this respect is the world resembled to the sea, and the Church to a ship therein. As well may a ship in the sea be free from storms, and waves beating upon it, as the Church from assaults.
