Excerpt from Confutation of the Rhemish Testament
Beast to which the Dragon of Hell gave his power, seat, and great authority. Revelation xiii. 2. That book which Protestants, two hundred and fifty years ago, dreaded as the pestilential smoke of the bottomless pit, has been republished under the sanction of an efficient portion of Reformed Christians, expressly that it may' testify OF itself. No greater proof of the change which has taken place in reference to Popery, between the days when the impious tyranny of Pope Gregory XIII. Raged, and the present era, when the no less insolent assumptions of Gregory XVI. Are so openly avowed, can possibly be cited, than these two facts; that the commentary by which it was confidently hoped the bright and blissful Reformation would be obliterated, the modern Jesuits dare not print: and that Protestants have published that volume, confident that no reflecting citizen who reads the exhibition of the doctrines and practices of Romanism by the Jesuits of Rheims, will ever become a Papist.
