"Then, if this is the case, and if we are not sanctified and gathered to the places God has appointed, with all our former professions and our great love of the Bible, we must fall."

"'Do you believe the Bible?'
If we do, we are the only people under heaven that does, for there are none of the religious sects of the day that do.
'Wherein do you differ from other sects?'
In that we believe the Bible, and all other sects profess to believe their interpretation of the Bible, and their creeds."
