LEARNED MEN ON THE LAW.

DR. ADAM CLARKE.—"Man cannot have a true notion of sin but by means of the Law of God." Com. on Rom. vii.
DR. BARNES.—"All the Law of God is binding on Christians. True piety has respect to all the commands of God and keeps them." Note on Matt. v, 19.
DR. CUMMING.—"The Law of Ten Commandments is in itself unchangeable and permanent. It was ordained by the Supreme Law-giver as the infallible rule of life, to all men, in every age of the world; in all places, under all circumstances, in every nation and generation of men on the earth."—Signs of the Times, pp. 23, 39.
MR. SPURGEON.—"The Law of God is a divine law, holy, heavenly, and perfect. There is not a command too many; there is not one too few. Its perfection is a proof of its divinity." Sermons, p. 280.
DR. SCOTT.—"This Law, which is so extensive that we cannot measure it, so spiritual that we cannot evade it, and so reasonable that we cannot find fault with it, will be the rule of the future judgment of God, as it is of the present conduct of man."—See Com.
JOHN WESLEY.—"Every branch of the Law is holy, just, and good. It springs from, and partakes of, the holy nature of God; it is every way just and right in itself." Notes on Rom. vii.
PRES. HUMPHREY.—"The Law has no limitations, and therefore can never expire. It has never been repealed; and as the sacred canon is full and complete, we are certain it never will be. It is, therefore, binding on every one of us at this moment; and will be upon all future generations." Essay on the Sabbath, p. 24.
