4 testimony against Wdr-No. 2.

We now proceed 10 consider some objections
1 1t is said that Abraham, the friend of God,
went out 10 war, and kept . band Of trained SER
wants that the nation OF Israel were repeatedly
commanded to make war; and TO make an utter
destruction ofthe nations THAI opposed their setle-
ment in the land of promise That David, the man
after Gods own heart was always engaged in war.
Many such examples are cited 10 prove the lawful
ness of fighting. Tothis it may be answered that
many things were suffered in ancient DAYS that are
either unnecessary now, or absolutely forbidden.
Abraham offered sacrifices, which are now useless,
since Christ was offered once for all. So also did
Abraham nlarry his bond maid, and some Others Of
the Patriarchs had two wives at the same time and
we may argue the propriety of that practice now
from their example, with precisely the same force,
as we do their example for war. 1t is evident from
several of our Lords discourses that many things
were formerly permitted, that be condemned.
Speaking 10 the Jews on certaiA time concerning
divorce when they plead the law OF Moses as their
authority he said Moses because of the hardness o
your hearts suffered you to put away your wives;
but from the beginning il was not so.n He then
proceeded to give direct preceptto the contrary.
The like may he said Of war: TWAS suffered be-
cause Of the hardness of mems hearts It was mere,
" permission for the time, and not command to
continue binding on Us add we may as well plead
David's example for reverencing the SIX of the
covenant, MS for lighting. The Patriarchs were
under dark and cloudy dispensation, and though
they uere saved by the same faith. yet their views
were ohscured. and much Of their conduct partook
Of the darkncssin winch they were euYeloped.
To be continued.
