It is one evidence of the Truth of the Christian Religion, that Christ hath carried it on by means contemptible against all oppositions imaginable. Who could have thought, that a few illiterate Fishermen that had neither skill in Grammar, or knowledge in Rhetorick, should carry on the Truth in a Majestick simplicity? The Princes of the Earth being not only non-assistants, but all the great Monarchs of the World opposing Christianity in the infancy thereof, whilst it was in the cradle, Acts 4.26, 27. King Herod 's enraged jealousie burned so fiercely, that it sucked up the blood of all the male-infants within the Coasts of Bethlehem. And had not an heavenly inspiration diverted the Eastern NONLATINALPHABET from the intended way of their return, their blood also should have run among the ingredients, and made up the dose to allay the fury of an angry Prince. Add unto this those fierce persecutions continuing in their height and heat, with a rage reaching up to Heaven, for the space of three hundred years, no storms could blow out the light of this Sun, clouds might cover it, but never extinguish it, because the Gospel is from God, the World cannot overthrow it, Acts 5.39. whereas all those Religions which the Romans, Greeks, and all the Gentiles went a gadding after before the advent of our Saviour, are all come to nothing, and the rest risen since shall shortly be destroyed with the brightness of his coming, 2 Thess. 2.8. therefore stand fast in an united conformity, striving together for the Faith of the Gospel. |
