Description:Excerpt from An Important Question: Being an Introductory Discourse, Preached Before the First Presbyterian Church, Lowell, Mass In all, seen through all, and to be passionately adored by all. Yet, with all this latitude, and it is vast, we are not permitted to introduce any new doctrine, device, or inven tion of man in the room of God's ordinance, or to substi tute what, in our wisdom, would be an improvement on the gospel plan. R We are restricted, under the most' solemn sanctions, in'all means for the regeneration of our race, to what God has enjoined - to a Thus saith the Lord, and beyondthis we are, under no censideration, permitted to travel, lest we be found entering Withma province that does not belong to us - only keeping pure and entire, all such religious worship and ordinances as God hath appointed in his word and in which you will recognize the terms of our original commission - never to be altered to suit the altered circumstances of the Church, but'of perpetual oh-e ligation: Go, and teach all nations; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever] have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. We call attention, particularly, to this point because the neglect of it has been attended with the most disastrous consequences to the purity and peace of the Church. We cannot take up the history of the Church without being strongly impressed with the truth of what I say, and the extreme danger of departing from the simplicity that is in Christ. The apostles themselves, had not yet ceased from their labors, when false prophets arose and these, throughout the successive ages of Christianity, have done more to wound and corrupt, to mar and destroy her purity and power, than all that has been effected by the ruthless hand of a relentless persecution. I need not particularize; but would simply caution you, as I would caution all, against giving way, at any time, to a spirit of innovation, upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets - Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone. To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
