enjoyment of soul liberty, the highest relation and enjoyment possible on earth, was the purpose for which inspiration and revelation were vouchsafed to man. When the means that were necessary to the desired end were placed within the reach of man, the end for which they were given being reached, there was no demand for their further continuance.

Again, "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another; but there be
