Antichrist desireth nothing so much to be oppressed, as the preaching of the Gospel. For even therefore hath he instituted the inquisitors of heretical pravity for h• dare call the Gospel heresy. Therefore he burneth the Gospel books, and preachers of the gospel, and every where restraineth the reading of the gospel, and Evangelical books. Wherefore the simple suppose, that it can not be but that gospel with all his ⟨p. 446⟩adherents should perish utterly. Now therefore in the lords consolation is brought in a vision of an Angel (for he is still in the vision) flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel, and preaching to the world. Whereby is signified, that the gospel shall be preached unto men, in despite of all the enemies thereof. And he gathereth a brief some of such things as by the gospel are preached to the world. Those same appertain also to the comfort of the church, which under the old beast suffered persecutions for the Gospel. We will briefly consider every thing.
