ye must, ye ministers of Rome, sodden with the fumes
of that great deep of abominations! The voice
of the Protestant shall never be hushed; the spirit
of Reformation shall never sleep. O, lands of
Farel and of Calvin, of Zwingle and of Luther!
O countries where the trumpet first sounded, marshalling
the people to this fearful contest! We have heard
the blast rolling still louder down the path of three
hundred years, and in our solid muster-march we come,
the children of the tenth generation. We come
a growing phalanx, not with carnal weapons, but with
the armor of the gospel, and wielding the sword of
truth on the right hand and on the left, we say that
antichrist must fall. Hear it,
ye witnesses, and mark the word; by the majesty of
the coming kingdom of Jesus, and by the eternal purpose
of Jehovah, this antichrist must fall.”
