My brethren, though we no longer need fear the revival of this error; though no Christians now would maintain that the observation of the Jewish law is necessary to justification; yet, alas! there are many who advocate sentiments too similar to those advanced by these persons. Supposing that the perfect righteousness of Christ is not a sufficient ground of trust, they introduce conditions and terms of justification as inconsistent with the tenor of the gospel, and as impossible to be united with the full atonement of Jesus, as were the Mosaic ceremonies. Oh! let us be careful to lay no other foundation than that which is laid, and let Christ, in the justification of the sinner, be esteemed all and in all.
