“Depraved, fallen, yea, proud na-
ture, forbids the idea of men sub
mitting to the plain truths, laws and
ordinances of Christ, as delivered
unto his church. On the other hand,
the thoughts of living out of the
church does not agree with their
feelings; therefore, in order to give
some kind of rest to the mind, they
form societies, give them such laws
and ordinances as they think proper
and then tell the public this society
is at least a branch of the church of
Christ. And then for proselyting,
and the more members the more joy;
Avhile the spirit of Christ appears to
be known but little amongst them.
“And yet, because they increase in
numbers, they tell us they are the
church of Jesus Christ. And upon
this principle, the church of Rome
could contend that she was the church
of Christ, when she filled the
Avorld Avith her most Avretched doc
trine. Baal’s prophets might on the
fcame ground, argue they Avere right;
and Israel could argue they Avere
right, Avhen they had gone into idol
atry. And those fcAv that sighed
and cried for all the abominations
that Avere committed, in Jerusalem,
Avere Avrong. But Avhen he Avho Avas
clothed Avith the linen, and carried
the ink horn by his side, comes to set
the mark, Ave find these few in num
ber Avere right, Ezekiel, 0 chap. If
numb'.-rs are to decide avIiC is. right,,
the matter is settled; for the people
of God have always been a small
body.”—David Jaclcs, 1842.
