It Is A Thoroughly Anti-christian Doctrine That The Spirit Of God, And Therefore The Life And Governing Power Of The Church, Resides In The Ministry, To The Exclusion Of The People.

That The Apostolic Office Is Temporary, Is A Plain Historical Fact.

No More Soul-destroying Doctrine Could Well Be Devised Than The Doctrine That Sinners Can Regenerate Themselves, And Repent And Believe Just When They Please.

Ruling Elders Are Declared To Be The Representatives Of The People.

If All Church Power Vests In The Clergy, Then The People Are Practically Bound To Passive Obedience In All Matters Of Faith And Practice; For All Right Of Private Judgment Is Then Denied.
