And do you think it will not be so? Is not the Devil as bad, wicked men as malicious as ever they were? and certainly, what power and policy can do to interrupt God in his ways of mercy to his Church, shall be done, oinsomuch that we may say with him, If Christ did not reign, we should quickly come to ruin. There are some great Promises, which God hath made, and will perform now at the end of all things. But none of these shall be accomplished without great difficulties; He hath said that Antichrist shall down, *But we must look for earthquakes before, Such noting he hath in the Kingdoms of the earth, in States and Nations, as nothing but an earthquake will loosen him, and throw him down. 3See the commotions foretold. Revel. 17.18.
