With the spirit of his mouth. That is, with the evidence and glory of his word, in the mouths of his Messengers. The Ministers of the word are as a mouth whereby the Lord breatheth 1out that glorious, mighty, and everlasting Gospel, which shall by degrees bruise Antichrist, and all his adherents, and break them in sunder like a rod of Iron, &c.

When Christ was born, all the Idols that were set up in the world (as Historians write) fell down. When Jesus Christ comes to be lifted up in a Nation, in a City, in a Town, in a Family, yea, in any heart, then all Idols without and within, will fall before the power, presence, and glory of Jesus. Since Luther began to lift up Christ in the Gospel, what a deal of ground ha's Antichrist lost? and he does and will loo more and more, as Christ comes to be more and more […]ened and lifted up in the Chariot of his word. Many in these days that speak much against Antichrist, have much of Antichrist within them. And certainly, there is no such way to cast him out of mens hearts, and out of the world, as the Preaching and making known of Christ, as the exalting and lifting up of Christ in the Gospel of grace.
