Those men that […] shall stand to plead for Antichrist, and to oppose the ⟨p. 141⟩work that God is about, certainly they are men borne out of time, borne in an ill hour. Your Papists and superstitious people that heretofore stood for that way, they prospered in their way, because the day of God was not so near, but the day of his patience in permitting Antichrist to continue, was then. But doest thou come now? what superstitious now? what opposing the work of God now? when God is coming out to fight against Popery and superstition, when God is about to do such great things for his Churches as he certainly is, Thou fightest against God, and God will fight against thee, and thou shalt be thrown upon thy back, Thou art borne in the worst time that possibly could be, worse then all the adversaries of the truth in former times. And if there be such a day, let us be willing to suffer for a while,§2 let us be willing to mourn for the Churches a while in that way of mourning that God calls us unto, for there is a recompense coming, glory enough coming even in this world. There is a time of triumphing, let us be content with our warfare here for a while.
