A short treatise

In short time a great part of the habitable world was converted & brought to the obedience of faith, so that Paul filled all places from Jerusalem to Illyricum, with the sound of the Gospel. Col. 1. 6. Rom. 35. 19. 8. The more the truth was persecuted, the more it did prevail. Act. 8. 3. 4. Phil. 1. 14. 9. Though the Jews were wasted with many and great slaughters, yet the Scriptures did still remain ⟨p. 22⟩safe, and entire in their custody: when the Hebrew language did lie almost unknown, and had perished altogether, had not the Lord provided for religion; then by the Jews the deadly enemies of Christ, was the doctrine of Christian faith preserved. 10. To these we may add, the dreadful judgements of God, which fell upon the persecutors of the Christian faith; amongst whom, some were forced at their last gasp, to acknowledge the divinity of this word. All which things do strongly confirm, the propagation, defence, and conservation of this truth and doctrine, to be admirable and of God.

In short time a great part of the habitable world was conuerted & brought to the obedience of faith, so that Paul filled all places frō Ierusalem to Illyricum, with the sound of the Gospel. Col. 1. 6. Rom. 35. 19. 8. The more the truth was persecuted, the more it did preuaile. Act. 8. 3. 4. Phil. 1. 14. 9. Though the Iewes were wasted with many and great slaughters, yet the Scriptures did still remaine ⟨p. 22⟩safe, and intire in their custody: when the Hebrew language did lie almost vnknowne, and had perished altogether, had not the Lord prouided for religion; then by the Iewes the deadly enemies of Christ, was the doctrine of Christian faith preserued. 10. To these we may adde, the dreadfull iudgements of God, which fell vpon the persecutors of the Christian faith; amongst whom, some were forced at their last gaspe, to acknowledge the diuinity of this word. All which things doe strongly confirme, the propagation, defence, and conseruauation of this truth and doctrine, to be admirable and of God.
