Excerpt from History of the Church of Christ, Vol. 3 of 3: From the Diet of Augsburg 1530, to the Eighteenth Century; Originally Designed as a Continuation of Milner's History That there was only a pause in the con ict, and not that the struggle was at an end, is a consideration to be kept in mind throughout the perusal of the following narrative. The development of many important doc trines and theories was dependent upon this state of affairs. Some of the most interesting circumstances in the later history of the Church are only to be accounted for by a reference to this fact, and though it will not be always necessary to bring it prominently forward, its being borne in mind will generally add force and clear ness to the detail.

Excerpt from History of the Church of Christ, Vol. 3: Containing the Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth, Centuries; To Which Is Added, the History of the Waldeness to the Reformation Impressed, however, with the certain truth of the declaration made by the divine author of Christianity, that the gates of hell shall never prevail against his chu\rch, I have endeavoured all along to discover her actual existence. How far I have succeeded, the reader must determine for himself. If the fundamental doc trines of the gospel have not been exhibited, both as professed in various parts of the world, and as pro ductive of those fruits of holiness, which are peculiarly christian, my aim has been 'missed, and, the grand de sign of the whole narration has failed. But I hope the scriptural reader will see the lineaments of the church pervading these dark centuries; provided he divest himself of all partial regards for sects and denomina tions, ages and countries, and attend exclusively to the marks and evidences of genuine Christianity. This is the right frame of spirit, which the subject before us requires; and it is What I have steadily endeavoured to preserve.

Excerpt from History of the Church of Christ, Vol. 3: Containing the Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth, Centuries; To Which Is Added, the History of the Waldeness to the Reformation If the real church historian find it a difficult task, to extract a connected view of his peculiar subject from the ecclesiastical materials of the fourth and fifth centuries, that difficulty is multiplied a hundred fold, while he labours through the long and gloomy period, which in the present volume engages his attention. Impressed, however, with the certain truth of the declaration made by the divine author of christianity, "that the gates of hell shall never prevail against his church," I have endeavoured all along to discover her actual existence. How far I have succeeded, the reader must determine for himself. If the fundamental doctrines of the gospel have not been exhibited, both as professed in various parts of the world, and as productive of those fruits of holiness, which are peculiarly christian, my aim has been missed, and the grand design of the whole narration has failed. But I hope the scriptural reader will see the lineaments of the church pervading these dark centuries; provided he divest himself of all partial regards for sects and denominations, ages and countries, and attend exclusively to the marks and evidences of genuine Christianity. This is the right frame of spirit, which the subject before us requires; and it is what I have steadily endeavoured to preserve. Tros Rutulusve fuat, nullo discrimine habebo.
