The Law and Gospel.

"The following extract from the writings of Dr. Whitby shows, at once, the present importance of the New Testament, and sweeps away the seat of the scornful rappist fraternity:

"If we must all be judged by this law of liberty, [Jas. ii, 12,] if Christ, at the last day, will judge the secrets of men's hearts according to the Gospel of St. Paul, [Rom. ii, 16] if he will come in flaming fire, taking vengeance on all that obey not his gospel—then must this gospel and this law of liberty, be a rule of faith until Christ's second coming—for upon that account alone can men be bound, under this dreadful penalty, to yield obedience to it, and be judged by it.'"
