Book Description

Excerpt from The Apostasy of the Church of Rome, and the Identity of the Papal Power: With the Man of Sin and Son of Perdition of St. Paul's Prophecy, in the Second Epistle to the Thessalonians, Proved From the Testimony of Scripture and History There are many circumstances in the times in which we live, that seem to call for new state ments of the principles upon which the Reformed Churches originally separated from Rome, and continue still to reject her authority. In general, it is to be feared that Protestants, are very ignorant of the present state of the Church of Rome, and it is, perhaps, to be at tributed to this cause, that an impression seems to have become widely disseminated, that the Popery of the present day is essentially different from that professed in former times. The author of these pages believes this impression to be both erroneous and dangerous, and in order to show what the Romish Church now is, he has endeavour ed as much as possible to draw his information from the more recent statements of the doctrines and worship of that Church.
