it is not without our own sin, as well as weakness, that we err in any scriptural propositions concerning our duty to God. And, if all who believe would lay aside their prejudices and preconceived opinions, and all impressions arising from worldly advantages, yielding themselves humbly and entirely to the teachings of God, we might all come ' in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.' Eph. iv. 13. And these things may suffice to illustrate the work of the Holy Spirit in our illumination, with respect to the external objective causes thereof, or the Holy Scripture itself. THE END.
