ominations in the above passage? I so decide. I could not, with the
stake before me decide, otherwise. Presbyterians and Episcopalians compose
a part of Babylon. They hold the distinctive principles of papacy in
common with papists."--_Tennessee Baptist._

"I think Christ has a true church on earth, but its members are scattered
among the various denominations, and are more or less under the influence
of mystery Babylon and her daughters."--_Bible Doctrine_ p. 249.

"Is antichrist confined to the church of Rome? The answer is readily
returned in the affirmative by Protestants in general, and happy had it
been for the world were that the case. But although we are fully warranted
to consider that church as the mother of harlots, the truth is that by
whatsoever arguments we succeed in fixing that odious charge upon her, we
shall by parity of reasoning be obliged to allow other national churches
to be her unchaste daughters, and for this plain reason, among others,
because in their very constitution and tendency they are hostile to the
nature of the kingdom of Christ."--_Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge._

"The writer of the book of Revelation tells us he heard a voice from
heaven saying, 'Come out of her, my people.' If such persons are to be
found in the mother of harlots, with much less hesitancy it may be
inferred that they are connected with her unchaste daughters, these
national churches, which are founded upon what are called Protestant
principles."--_Encyclopedia of Religion._

"If she be the mother, who are the daughters? It must be the corrupt
national established churches that came out of her."--_Lorenzo Dow._

Chapter III. False Teachings Of The Apostasy.

This is subject enough for volumes. There is scarcely a text in the Bible
but what has been perverted by some one confused by the fogs of Babylon.
Perhaps you can not find two individuals in the whole of sectism that see
"eye to eye" upon the whole truth. To mention all the erroneous teachings
of apostates would be almost impossible. However we believe it to be
compatible with this work and to the glory of God to mention and refute a
few of the false doctrines that have been most effectual in obscuring the
light of the sun and moon.

We will quote from an unknown author the following unscriptural dogmas of
the Romish sect, and the date of their origin:

Prayers for the dead A.D. 200.
Worship of saints, angels and mar
