Ans. But nevertheless it is not to be understood1 that all times of the Gospel & continually it should be over the world, but our Saviour CHRIST saith that the end should not be yet, viz. of Jerusalem before the Gospel was to be Preached over all the world, which began at Jerusalem as the Prophet2 testifieth. And therefore it was necessary that the word should go throughout the world indeed, but not generally at all times. But if they will have that to be the Truth and the Gospel which was Preached in the whole world, then theirs is not the Gospel, which was never in India, nor in Turkey, nor in any of the Greek Churches, for the Patriarch of Constantinople never embraced their religion, and therefore their Gospel is not the true Gospel. Our Gospel is that which was spoken by the Prophets, and hath been through the world, it is that, which was taught and Preached by the Apostles, &c. and therefore ours is the true Gospel.
Ans. But neuerthelesse it is not to be vnderstood1 that all times of the Gospell & continually it should be ouer the world, but our Sauiour CHRIST saith that the end should not be yet, viz. of Ierusalem before the Gospell was to bee Preached ouer all the world, which beganne at Ierusalem as the Prophet2 testifieth. And therefore it was necessary that the word should go throughout the world indeed, but not generally at all times. But if they will haue that to be the Truth and the Gospel which was Preached in the whole world, then theirs is not the Gospell, which was neuer in India, nor in Turkey, nor in any of the Greeke Churches, for the Patriarke of Constantinople neuer embraced their religion, and therefore their Gospell is not the true Gospell. Our Gospell is that which was spoken by the Prophets, and hath bene through the world, it is that, which was taught and Preached by the Apostles, &c. and therefore ours is the true Gospell.
