We cannot despair. saith M. Harding, of the continuance of our cause. For Heaven and Earth shall pass: but Christs Word shall not pass. He will be with us all days to the worlds end, &c. These Words, M. Harding, be true and certain: and therefore our hope is the firmer. Christ hath promised that the Sprite of Truth shall remain for ever, but not in the Pope, and his Cardinals. For thereof he made no promise. Nay rather the Prophet Isaiah saith, The Sprite of God shall rest upon the poor,1 and meek hearted, that trembleth at the Word of the Lord.

Christe hath promised that the Sprite of Truthe shal remaine for euer, but not in the Pope, and his Cardinalles. For thereof he made no promise. Nay rather the Prophete Esai saithe, The Sprite of God shal rest vpon the poore,1 and méeke harted, that trembleth at the Woorde of the Lorde.
