«« Antinomians , so denominated for rejecting the Law as a thing of no use under the Gospel dispensation : they say , that good works do
not further , nor evil works hinder salvation ; that the child of God cannot sin , that God never chastiseth him , that murder , drunkenness , &c . are sins in the wicked but not in him , that the child of grace being once assured of salvation , afterwards never doubteth that God doth not love any man for his holiness , that sanctification is no evidence of justification , &c . Pontanus , in his Catalogue of Heresies , says John Agricola was the author of this sect , A . D . 1535 .
"—Dictionary of all Religions , 1704 . There ' s Heaven above : and night by night I look right through its gorgeous roof—No suns and moons though e ' er so bright Avail to stop me : —splendor-proof I keep the broods of stars aloof : For I intend to get to God . . . For 'tis to God I speed so fast ! For in God ' s breast , tny own abode ,
Those shoals of dazzling glory past , I lay my spirit down at last . I lie—where I have always lain , God smiles—as he has always smiled : — Kre suns and moons could wax and wane , Ere stars were thundergirt , or piled The heavens . . God tnought on me his child ,
Ordained a life for me—arrayed Its circumstances , every one To the minutest . , - ay , God said This head this hand should rest upon Thus , —ere he fashioned star or sun ! And having thus created me , Thus rooted me , he bade me grow— - Guiltless for ever , like a tree
That buds and blooms , nor seeks to know A law by which it prospers so : But sure that thought and word and deed All go to swell his love for me—Me—made because that love had need Of something irrevocably Pledged solely its content to be . Yes , yes , —a tree which must
ascend—No poison-gourd foredoomed to stoop : I have God ' s warrant , could I blend All hideous sins , as in a cup , — To drink the mingled venoms up , Secure my nature will convert The draught to blossoming gladness fast : While sweet dews turn to the gourd ' s hurt , And bloat , and while they bloat it , Wast-t-As from the first its lot was cast .
