Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Gospel Church Vindicated by the Scriptures But it is the life of error to clip, or counterfeit, the king´s coin. To compel the Scriptures to say more, or less, than they do. You find, that God in his word, hath exprest himself in a clear, distinct, manner, in a way easy to be understood. Truth is pleased with this plain and simple dress. But error is always for show and mystery. She persuades the multitude, that the things of revealed religion are so wrapt in a cloud, as not to be understood, but by those who are adepts at discovery. This generally believed, the work of error is more than half accomplished; and the most adroit deceiver may lead of the largest company. This being the most prolific source of separating controversies, which have long disturbed and distressed the people of God, a short illustration of it may prove profitable to many. One preacher, or writer, proclaims what he knows, and then proceeds to asserting, imagining, supposing, or guessing. A second and a third, to an hundred, do the same. This occasions a very general observation, and question; "One tells us one thing, another a different thing. Whom shall we believe?" You, Brethren, know, that it is the practice of both preachers and writers to publish what they know not. There may be exceptions, but this is a very general thing, with those who set up for leaders in religion. This has occasioned the whole mystery of iniquity. This is the only thing which prevents you, and your Brethren among the Baptists from running together in the things of the kingdom of God. Let your preachers and writers say and publish but what they know, and let the Baptists do the same, there could be no divisions, for truth hath not fallen out with itself It is, therefore, impossible, if ten, or ten thousand, should speak the truth concerning the things of the kingdom of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, that there should be any discord amongst them.
