This is the duty of all, and, in a more especial manner, of those who, professing to be of the same faith, also profess to walk in the path of that man: and that they are now called to the exercise of this duty must be evident from the course which you and some others have pursued. "Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? To his own master he standeth or falleth; yea, he shall be holden up; for God is able to make him stand. But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. Let us not judge one another any more."[73] Footnote 73: Romans, chap. xiv. This was the exhortation of Paul to the Romans, when instructing them in the use of Christian liberty; for he had been taught by his master, _that there were other sheep, though not of this fold_.[74] You, however, seem to be in the state of Peter before his vision, who thought it unlawful to eat with the uncircumcised, and knew not, _that on the Gentiles also, was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost_: and, like James and John, you seem ready to call down the fire of heaven on those who do not receive the gospel according to your own particular ritual, although you must have read the rebuke of their master, "Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of; for the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them."[75] Footnote 74: John, chap. x. Footnote 75: Luke, chap. ix. You denounce the members of Bible and Missionary Societies, and the ministers of most other sects, and stigmatise their endeavours to spread the gospel, _as an abomination in the land_; and accuse them of taking from the widow for their own aggrandisement.[76] You say that they compass sea and land to make a proselyte, and that _when he is made, they have made him two-fold more the child of hell than he was before_;[77] and, in speaking of the studies which many religious societies enjoin as a preparation for the ministry, you call it inventing religions by earthly science; and, usurping the judgment seat, you boldly pronounce every priest, thus made, to be _an enemy to his God_;[78] thus indiscriminately anathematising thousands and tens of thousands of men, of whom you know nothing.

Yet, when it answered a present purpose, we find you asserting, "that the law of the spirit of life in you, is not the law of the spirit of life in your brother, whose bondage here may be different from your own; that each requires a law peculiar to himself; and that the law in another man's mind is no law to us;" and you say you believe that there are among the Christian professors, many who are industriously seeking the Lord, although under the power of tradition and education, and the superstition that reigns in the land.[79] Footnote 79: Philada. Sermons, pages 51, 267.
