CHAPTER IV. _This spirit, which has been thus given to men in different degrees, has been given them as a teacher or guide in their spiritual concerns--Way in which it teaches._ CHAPTER V. _This spirit may be considered as the primary and infallible guide--and the scriptures but a secondary means of instruction--but the Quakers do not undervalue the latter on this account--Their opinion concerning them._ CHAPTER VI. _This spirit, as a primary and infallible guide, has been given to men universally--From the creation to Moses--From Moses to Christ--From Christ to the present day._ CHAPTER VII. Sect. I.--_And as it has been universally to men, so it has been given them sufficiently--Those who resist it, quench it--Those who attend to it, are in the way of redemption._ Sect. II.--_This spirit then besides its office of a spiritual guide, performs that of a Redeemer to men--Redemption outward and inward--Inward effected by this spirit._ |
