1First, betwixt us and the blessed state we aim at there is much opposition, and therefore there must be violence.1 The state of the Church here, the state of grace, and the enjoying of the means of grace it is a state of opposition. Good persons, and good things, they are opposed in the world. Christ rules in this world in the middest of his enemies, 3he must have enemies therefore to rule in the middest of, he must be opposed, and where there is opposition between us and the good things that we must of necessity have, we must break thorough the opposition, which cannot be done without violence. Now the means, and graces of salvation they are opposed every way, within us, and without us.
