I told you, he shall be confounded and beaten down by the force and power of Gods mighty word. His word is omnipotent. It shall disclose the works of darkness: it shall hew down Idolatry, Superstition, and the whole kingdom ⟨p. 382⟩of Antichrist, as our eyes do see this day, Blessed be God the father of our Lord Jesus Christ: his mighty hand hath wrought these things. He hath triumphed the name of his Christ: he will bless the things he hath begun. He will overthrow the whole power of Antichrist, by his presence, and by the glory of his coming. Then shall it appear who is the successor of Peter, who is the true vicar of Christ, and who is Antichrist.
