objections will be numbered with the froward in the Book of God, the Lord

shall be asked of their doings.'(32) He is come from the invisible heaven,
bearing the banner 'He doeth whatsoever He willeth' and is accompanied by
hosts of power and authority while it is the duty of all besides Him to
strictly observe whatever laws and ordinances have been enjoined upon
them, and should anyone deviate therefrom, even to the extent of a hair's
