First his diligent attendance to destroy Christ himself, the Seed of the Woman, the Church, at his Birth, by the minstry of the ungodly Herod; then in his own Person to ensnare him by his Temptations; either of which having prevailed, the Gospel had been kill'd in the Bud, stifled in the Birth, and plucked up by the Roots. These attempts not succeding, he pursues the Church, drives her into the Wilderness of Affliction by his Persecutions, that the Gospel and its Professors might be so ill accommodated in all ourward appearance, that few should be prevailed on to embrace it so much to their cost. This was the state of the Gospel, |
