CHAP. XI.
WE have heard that the little Book should be opened, and the Gospel preached and published to many nations and Kingdoms, after the great darkness of Popery, and that this was done by Luther, Melanchthon, Calvin, Peter Virit, Peter Martyr, Bullinger, Bucer; and all their faithful successors ⟨p. 170⟩unto this day. Now in this Chapter we are to understand the effect and good success of their preaching and publishing the Gospel, which was, that the Church should be restored, reformed, and built up thereby, which a long time had been wasted and oppressed by the tyranny of Antichrist, and that many should embrace this Gospel, forsake their Idolatries, and turn unto God with all their hearts, yea, whole Nations and Kingdoms in Europe should be converted to the faith, as we see this day, God be praised. So then the principal drift of this Chapter is, to show those things which yet remain to be fulfilled under the blowing of the sixth Trumpet, which is the preaching and prevailing of the Gospel, even unto the worlds end: and also the things which follow upon the blowing of the seventh trumpet, which is the resurrection and last judgement.
VVE have heard that the little Booke should be opened, and the Gospel preached and published to many nations and Kingdomes, after the great darknesse of Popery, and that this was done by Luther, Melancthon, Calvin, Peter Virit, Peter Martyr, Bullinger, Bucer; and all their faithfull successors ⟨p. 170⟩unto this day. Now in this Chapter we are to understand the effect and good successe of their preaching and publishing the Gospell, which was, that the Church should be restored, reformed, and built up thereby, which a long time had been wasted and oppressed by the tyranny of Antichrist, and that many should embrace this Gospell, forsake their Idolatries, and turne unto God with all their hearts, yea, whole Nations and Kingdomes in Europe should be converted to the faith, as we see this day, God be praised. So then the principall drift of this Chapter is, to shew those things which yet remaine to be fulfilled under the blowing of the sixth Trumpet, which is the preaching and prevailing of the Gospel, even unto the worlds end: and also the things which follow upon the blowing of the seventh trumpet, which is the resurrection and last judgement.
