Présentation de l'éditeur
Era. iv. 36. Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called In one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. The obvious meaning of this passage is the true one; and that is as if it read thus ;T he religion of Christians is divine, and it is therefore one and the same in all of them. By means of il they coalesce in one mystical body. United in this celestial manner, whatever differences in other respects may appear among them, are to be borne with reciprocal meekness, always keeping in all tilings the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Each of the principal members of this paraphrase, in their order, will be particularly considered, and an application to this General Association will conclude the discourse. I. The religion of Christians) being divine, is one and the some in (ill of them. One Lord, one Faith, one Baptism only can be from heaven, in application effectual, and in result eternal. y whomsoever this may be questioned, it will be at once admitted by those who contend not only that truth is the instrument of sanctification, bul also thai in no ease can tin-human soul be sanctified withoul it.
