religious purity and power, which may come here
after. and with the deepest humility, but with
confidence unfeigned to tae judgment seat of the
Lord Jesus Christ, who is the great Head and
Ruler OF His church. and whose approval can
never be given 10 the persecution of the innocent
or 70 the oppression of the weak.
