I mpressed, 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 church, I have endeavoured all along to discover her actual existence. How far I have succeeded, the reader must determine for himself. If the fundamental doctrines of the gospel have not been exhibited, both as professed in various parts of the world, and as productive of those fruits of holiness, which are peculiarly christian, my aim has been missed, and the grand design 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 denominations, 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. Tros Rutulusve fuat, nuU odiscrimine habebo. In the former part of the volume, Gregory I. of Rome, and theE nglish christians, will be found obV oL. III.
