It was "The Propagation of the Gospel," with all that was then implied in that phrase as construed by himself.
As regarded England and Wales, the phrase meant, all but exclusively, the sustenance, extension, and consolidation of Cromwell's Church Establishment.

The _Trustees for the better Maintenance of Ministers_, as well as the _Triers_ and _Ejectors_, were still at work; and in the Council minutes of the summer of 1658, just as formerly, there are orders for augmentations of ministers' stipends, combinations of parishes and chapelries, and the like.
Substantially, the Established Church had been brought into a condition nearly approaching Cromwell's ideal; but he had still notions of more to be done for it in one direction or another, and especially in the direction of wider theological comprehension.

He did not despair of seeing his great principle of concurrent endowment yet more generally accepted among those who were really and evangelically Protestant.

Much would depend on the nature of that Confession of Faith which Article XI.

of the _Petition and Advice_ had required or promised as a standard of what should be considered qualifying orthodoxy for the Church of the Protectorate.
For such a purpose the Westminster Confession of Faith, even though its doctrinal portions might stand much as they were, could hardly suffice as a whole.
