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.
