Now then, as concerning the general matter of this Book, here are to be found very large and lively descriptions of the most glorious Person of Christ,1 and all his excellent offices, both of King, Priest, and Prophet; and also most notable descriptions of the Church, and of the Ministers of it: and of the persecutions and afflictions, which it must of necessity pass through in the World.
