Ioh. 16.1 The buylding of his Church notwithstanding in despite of the Divel and all oppositions upon a rock with this sure word of promise never to fayle that the gates of hell shall not overcome it Mat. 16 18.

So were Christians in the Primitiue Church under the Roman Emperors those cruell Caesars and so haue been of latter tymes also under the tyrannie of this Arch-antichristian Caesar that abomination of desolation now sitting in the selfe same place druncken with the blood of the Saincts and with the blood of the martyrs of Iesus whose destruction sleepeth not Come I will shewe thee the damnation of the great whore c. Finally the preaching of the Gospel to all nations Mat. 24 14. and the uniting and gathering together both of Iew and Gentile into one fold under one shepheard euen that great shepheard of our soules that there may be one sheepfold and one shepheard Ioh. 10 16.
