of His severity; instances of the elevation to which man may be raised by the influence of the Spirit, or of the degradation to which he may be reduced when allowed to follow the leadings of his own perverted intellect, and left for a season to himself. But in either case the lesson which God is pleased to give should be studied and noted; and if we see, as in the present volume, the extent of error to which man can be sunk with regard to the efficacy of ceremonial observances, and his blindness as to moral truth; and find the error and the blindness alike proceeding from undue respect to traditional knowledge; we may gain a godly jealousy of all such unauthorised additions to the rule of life, and may be led to watch with greater diligence against all encroachments on the word of truth.
