From which it appeareth that Christ cannot be hid.
1. In his Cause and Truth;1 the Gospel is scourged and imprisoned when the Apostles are so served; yet it cometh to light and filleth Jerusalem, and filleth all the world. What was done to hide Christ? when he and his Gospel is buried under a great stone, yet his fame goeth abroad; Death is no covering to Christ, Papists burn all the Books of Protestants, they kill and slay the Witnesses; Antiochus and the persecuting Emperors, throw all the Bibles in the fire; but this Truth cannot be hid, it Triumpheth: As soon pull down Jesus from his Royal seat at the right hand of God: as Babylon, Prelates, Papists, Malignants, in these three Kingdoms, can extinguish the People and Truth of Christ.
