4. I have given an outline of what I believe to be the Romish system; and surely it is a system which may obtain a hold over England, as well as over any country in the world. Nay, must it not obtain a hold if we have nothing to set up against it but the notion of a Church, compounded of a number of men believing themselves to be holy, and despising others? Romanism is the fearful parody of Christian Unity.
This is the absolute denial that any such Unity exists or is possible.
When the Son of G.o.d and the Son of Man is manifested, the parody and the denial will perish together.
DISCOURSE XXVI.
A friend has suggested to me a punctuation of the 2d verse of the 17th chapter, which would enable us to translate it: "_That He should give to them all which Thou hast given Him, (even) eternal life_." This version seems to me at least worthy of serious consideration.
THE END.
