In thus giving evidence of their settled conviction that the Lord Jesus Christ did not design that there should be any rite or outward observance of permanent obligation in His Church, Friends have been greatly misunder- stood by their fellow Christians. It has been said, even in the present day, and that by those persons who otherwise think well of them, that by not observing these so-called Christian ordi- nances, the members of the Society of Friends are not only acting contrary to the examp...le of the Apostles, but are also disobeying the express command of our Saviour Himself. Yet this ac- cusation is made somewhat inconsiderately ; for Friends, " accept every command of Jesus Christ, in what they believe to be its true im- port, as absolutely conclusive ; and it is in obedi- ence to His commands, c Swear not at all/ ' Love your enemies/ that many of our brethren on both sides of the Atlantic have endured grievous suffering, some even unto death. The question of outward ordinances is not as to the authority of Christ, but as to His real meaning.
