Excerpt from Sermons on the Four Marks of the Church: With Illustrations

The belief of the great mystery of our redemption is therefore the general belief of the Christian universe. There is too another belief, which being hinged upon the above, and forming an immediate deduction from it, is equally with it, admitted as a general tenet. It is this, that as Christ Jesus came down from his eternal throne to be a Saviour, he came down also to be a legislator - came down to establish, and has actually established, a society on earth, to which he has communicated the mysteries of his mercy, imparted the dispensation of his authority, and suggested the maxims of his heavenly wisdom. This society is what we, and indeed every sect with us, denominate the Church.
