ON THE

ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY

OF THE

FIRST AND SECOND CENTURIES.

"If then it appears so hard and so little knowne how to govern a house well,
which is thought of so easie discharge and for every man's undertaking, what skill of
man, what wisdome, what parts can be sufficient to give lawes and ordinances to the
elect household of God? If we could imagine that He had left it at randome without
His provident and gracious ordering, who is he so arrogant, so presumptuous, that
durst dispose and guide the living arke of the Holy Ghost, though he should finde
it wandering in the field of Bethshemesh, without the conscious warrant of some
high calling?"-MILTON.
