LXVI.
Such babble, of confusion!
God cannot be the cause;
The gates of hell are many.
The door to heaven, but one.
If men had fought for truth
And not for vain applause,
The devil of dissension
Would have his work undOne.

"Unless We eat My flesh
And also drink My blood, ,,.
Ye have no life in you," 81

Bear also in rem emibrance
The contradiction of care
Where Moses, as Gods servant,
Was set aside by three.
How they were swallowed up

If Moses and successors
Were thus to be respected, ..
Are Christ and His apostles
OF less authority?
But every sect and schism
Have thus their words respected,
And that by some one man

We know the wicked Jews
Who crucified our Lord
Were members Of the church
That God ordained by Moses.
Though we con 7enn the men
We dare not damn their church.
So with the church of Christ

Much like to Noah's Ark
More animals than souls.
Still they obeyed the call ~
And maybe of much bother,
Obedience stands first
