Cursed be the man before the Lord,
that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho.
Joshua 6:26
"Since he was cursed who rebuilt Jericho, I much more the man who labours to restore Popery among us.
In our fathers' days the gigantic walls of Popery fell by the power
of their faith,
the perseverance of their efforts,
and the blast of their gospel trumpets;
and now there are some who would rebuild that accursed system upon its old foundation.
It should be a serious business with us to be thoroughly purged of
every error which may have a tendency to foster the spirit of Popery, and when we have made a clean sweep at home we should seek in every way to oppose its all too rapid spread abroad in the church and in the world.
We must warn with judicious boldness those who are inclined towards the errors of Rome; we must instruct the young in gospel truth, and tell them of the black doings of Popery in the olden times.
If the thousands who will read this short word this night will do all they can to hinder the rebuilding of this accursed Jericho, the Lord's glory shall speed among the sons of men. Reader, what can you do? What will you do?"
Charles Spurgeon
