No Age since the Infancy of Christianity had greater Advantage to arrive at Scripture-Knowledge than we enjoy; nor does the Light of the Gospel shine with more eminent Lustre in any Nation, than in England at this time, (which causes Satan, and his Hellish Emissaries, to strive to darken or eclipse its Glory, by introducing Popery, Superstition, and Error amongst us.) England, and particularly its famous Metropolis, is the very Butt of Antichristian Spite and Fury, because it is indeed thought to be the main Bulwark of the true Protestant Religion throughout the World. We have the Scriptures translated in our Mother-Tongue, which the sacrilegious Adversaries of Truth locked up in Languages unknown to the Vulgar. We have the Comments and Expositions of the Learned, instead of the pestilent and ⟨image 3⟩Heretical Glosses of Rome; we have still, notwithstanding all the Machinations of the Enemies of the Gospel, a painful, powerful, preaching Ministry. And if we improve not all these Mercies to the acquisition of this divine and sublime Knowledge, how inexcusable shall we be, and how just in God, should he in one day deprive us of all?
