Here also I do most humbly and earnestly entreat all my learned and godly brethren, the Ministers and Preachers of this Church of England, that in all their ⟨p. 340⟩public teachings and private proceedings, they would make strong opposition against Rome, and Romish religion. And I beseech the God of gods, that we may all join together with united forces, to march on valiantly against the armies of Antichrist, and to spread the everlasting Gospel far and near, to the utter overturning and beating down of this western Babylon; and that howsoever we may amongst our selves differ in judgement in some things; yet that there might be no breach of love, nor alienation of affection amongst us, but that we may all go together hand in hand, and arm in arm to preach Gods everlasting truth, and to set our selves against the common adversaries. For if that we will not set our selves against them, yet they will be sure to set themselves against us. And thus much concerning the third main point, which is the final fall and destruction of Rome, even in this world.
