And this Angel hath the everlasting gospel.1 Wherein is the greatest comfort. For it signifieth, that the verity shall be in the world invincible. And for many causes is the Gospel called everlasting. First, because the verity is immortal, which can not be bounden, how so ever the ministers are fettered & slain .2. Timoth. 2. secondly the gospel is eternal, for because it was showed to our first fathers, prophesied in the law & prophets, fulfilled of Christ, declared by the apostles, & by the grace of God brought unto us. Yea & before all times was predestinated. Read the .1. to the Ephes. For even for this cause is it called everlasting, forasmuch as it appertaineth to us & to our posterity unto the worlds end, and not only to our elders. And because it is everlasting, they lie which at this day call it a new doctrine or learning. Papistry is new, which hath his original, what time every thing was ordained. &c. Moreover the Apostle sayeth: if I or an Angel from heaven shall preach any other gospel, or besides the same that ye have received, let him be accursed.
And this Angell hath the euerlastyng gospell.1 Wherin is the greatest cōforte. For it signifieth, that the veritie shal be in the world inuincible. And for many causes is the Gospell called euerlastyng. Firste, because the veritie is immortall, which can not be bounden, how so euer the ministers are fettered & slayne .2. Timoth. 2. secondely the gospel is eternal, for bicause it was shewed to our firste fathers, prophecied in the lawe & prophetes, fulfilled of Christ, declared by thapostles, & by the grace of God brought vnto vs. Yea & before al times was predestinated. Reade the .1. to the Ephes. For euē for this cause is it called euerlasting, for asmuch as it apperteineth to vs & to our posteritie vnto the worldes ende, and not only to our elders. And because it is euerlastyng, they lie whiche at this daye calle it a newe doctrine or learnyng. Papistrie is newe, whiche hath his originall, what time euery thing was ordeyned. &c. Moreouer the Apostle sayeth: yf I or an Angel from heauē shal preach any other gospell, or besides the same that ye haue receyued, let him be accursed.
