LIBERATIS informs us "that there are many kings in the world, but there is only one pope over the whole world;" which words imply a clear confession of the supremacy of the Roman see A. D. 538.—Roman Catholic History, published in Dublin, Ireland, p. 224.
The fact is, the Protestants never denied that the foundations of their faith were to be found in the Romish church.—Milner's History, Vol. v, p. 558.
Lorenzo Dow says : "Most people who join the society, but have never read the Discipline, love the Methodist doctrine, and the preachers; hence love leads them in, without knowing the stuff derived from the Roman Pontiff incorporated into the theme which originally was derived from, and bottomed on, the Pagan Roman Imperial code."—Life of Dow, p. 126.
SLAVERY. Slavery in the South and the religious establishments in the North, are national evils, that call for national reform and repentance: or a national scourge in this world. It may be antidoted before the storm gather and burst.—Dow's Life, p. 112.
Prophecy of the coming of Luther. Andrew Proles prophesied that God would raise up a hero who by his age, strength, talents, learning, genius and eloquence should hold the foremost place. He will begin the Reformation. He will oppose error, and God will give him boldness to resist the mighty ones of the earth.—History of the Reformation, Vol. i, Chap. 6.
Martin Luther says : Let the Christian reader's first object always be, to find out the literal meaning of the word of God; for this, and this alone, is the whole foundation of faith, and of Christian theology. It is the very substance of Christianity; the only thing which stands its ground in distress and temptation. It is what overcomes the gates of hell, together with sin and death, and triumphs, to the praise and glory of God.—Milner's History, Vol. v, p. 460.
