The Complete Works of Whittier

CHAPTER VI
41/1099

The Christ we reverence is the shadow or image of God in man; he was crucified in Adam of old, and hath been crucified in all men since; his birth, his passion, and his death, were but manifestations or figures of his sufferings in Adam and his descendants.

Faith and Christ are the same, the spiritual image of God in the heart.

We acknowledge no rule but this Christ, this faith within us, either in temporal or spiritual things.

And the Lord hath blessed us, and will bless us, and truth shall be magnified and exalted in us; and the children of the heathen shall be brought to know and partake of this great redemption whereof we testify.

But woe to the false teachers, and to them who prophesy for hire and make gain of their soothsaying.
