and by the same Barbarous and Inhumane Methods, it hath ⟨p. 33⟩been supported now above a Thousand Years. And in like manner that great Enemy of the Church, represented in St. John's Vision, maintains his Interest by causing that as many as would not worship the Image of the Beast should be killed, Rev. 13.15. Thus are Errors and false Religions propagated; strip them of these supports, & they fall to the ground of course; but on the contrary, the Christian Religion was planted and preserved not only without, but against secular Force, recommended and upheld by its own intrinsic Truth and Excellency, and that Divine Power which accompanied it.

Thus is come Salvation and Strength, and the Kingdom of our God, and the Power of his Christ.
