Depend upon it, my dear friends, God sets great value on ordinances, and our observance of them.
God has given us two sacraments, and he who dispenses with them because he undervalues them, or undertakes to say that they are not necessary to him, or to any in this age of the world, is in peril.

The only danger from forms and ordinances is when they are of human origin.

We must take care and not let our revulsion from Romanism carry us to the extreme of neglecting or setting aside the ordinances of God's appointment.

"There are three that bear record on earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three agree in one." A man may, with equal propriety, dispense with the blood, and its symbol the wine, or with the Spirit, as with the water, if God has appointed it with the other two as a witness between him and us.

You notice that the Spirit is named with the two inanimate things, the blood and the water.
