;PROMISED CATHOLICITY. 209is universal in a sense which cannot be affirmed of any dominionwhich Rome ever attained, or is likely ever to attain.It is a dominion from which no land or tribe under thecope of heaven is excluded. " Behold, the darkness shallcover the earth, and gross darkness the people ; but theLord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen uponthee. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and allkings thy glory."'''* " He shall have dominion also from seato sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. Theythat dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him ; and hisenemies shall lick the dust. The kings of Tarshish and ofthe isles shall bring presents ; the kings of Sheba and Sebashall offer gifts. Yea, all kings shall fall down before himall nations shall serve him."-f-|tians. And there is not anywhere in the Pagan world a sect which maynot give us an assurance of infallibility, if we wish it, on quite as goodgrounds as Rome.* Isaiah, Ix. 2, and Ixii. 2. f Psalm Ixxii. 8-11.J " Whereas the Papist boasts himself to be a Roman Catholic, it is amere contradiction ; as if he should say, universal particular, or Catholicschismatic."(]Milton's Tracts on True Religion.)
