Ye have seen him upon mount Pharan, that is to say, upon mount Sinai. There his glory shone forth in such wise, as ye could not but know that he hath authorised the law, and made a covenant with you to knit you unto himself. And why then should ye now start away, and become as members rent a sunder?
