Excerpt from Lectures on the Apocalypse But let none of these things either stumble or discourage you; for, be assured, that "no strange thing has happened to you." The path you now tread, is that in which all the first churches walked, until Antichrist arose and corrupted the christian profession; and it will be again restored and become a "highway," when Antichrist shall be destroyed "by the brightness of the Lord's coming;" when "the cities of the nations fall," or, to speak without a figure, when all national establishments of Christianity are swept away, and the dissenting churches get rid of the leaven of Popery which still attaches to them. That much of this remains to be done, you, I am sure, will require no proof from me. While we find some of the strictest sect of our dissenters contending that the apostolic churches are no longer an example to us for our imitation in conducting the affairs of the kingdom of Christ; that though they were not without their use in the infancy of Christianity, or so long as it maintained its pristine purity, yet that now a new case has arisen, and to accommodate matters to this new order of things, it has become necessary to abandon the example of the apostolic churches, and to meet Antichrist half-way!!! - I say, so long as such monstrous opinions as these are broached in the face of the sun, and acted upon, the state of our dissenting churches must, in the very nature of things, become increasingly corrupt. May you, my brethren, ever be upon your guard against that accursed sophistry which would lead you to tamper with divine ordinances and institutions; you can be at no loss to trace it to its origin. Gen. iii. 1-5. Remember that those things were given you by the adorable Head of the church, to keep, and not to play fast and loose with, according as human weakness and caprice may dictate. And while all your affairs are conducted with charity, "do all things without murmurings and disputings, that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation; among whom may you shine as lights in the world, holding forth the word of life, that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that my labours among you have not been in vain."
