1Hence again, we may see that Popish spirits are witty in opposing the unfolding of the Gospel in the Ministry, especially where there is conscience and skill to unfold Christ plainly, they know when Christ is opened all their fopperies and inventions will grow base, the more Christ is unfolded, the more people will grow in hatred of Antichrist, the more they s•e the light, the more they will hate darkness, for this cause they oppose the unfolding of the Gospel to the understanding of the people, they would keep people in ignorance that they may make them dote upon them. It argueth a disposition dangerous, that shall never taste of the good things of God, to be in a bitter temper against the unfolding of the Gospel of Christ: For we see here the discovery of it makes it wondrous effectual, John Baptist ⟨p. 271⟩laying open Christ clearer then he was discovered before, the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence.
