Excerpt from The Journal of Jurisprudence, Vol. 20: 1876 A doctrine such as this, so inconsistent with the Christian Scriptures, and so at variance with the practice Of mankind, was certain to be rejected when fairly submitted to the consideration of reasonable minds; and the rejection and denunciation of it have been as emphatic as those which have overtaken other errors of the same school.
