A Summary of Right and True Christianity

represent and express Him; and who
has bound themselves to Him / to
be faithful to Him / to live in His faith / and
to keep His law. If this is so / how
many are there then who are under obligation /
but how few who acquit
themselves of their duty! How many debt-

V. He who has become a Christian / and
bears the name thereof / has
bound himself to God the Father / Son / and
Holy Spirit / being baptized in their
Name / and dedicated to their Per-
sons. He has especially bound
himself to Jesus Christ / having re-
ceived His Name / and accepted His Livery original: "Liverp"; a distinctive uniform or clothing worn by the servants of a noble household to indicate whom they serve..
He is His subject / and
must pay Him homage / and acknowledge Him as Lord;
His disciple / and must hear Him;
His son / and must obey Him;
His servant / and must serve Him; His
soldier original: "krijgsknecht"; literally a "war-servant," implying one who is bound to military service. / and must fight under / indeed for
Him / against hell / the world and him-
self.

and declare oneself for him?
Why make profession of a Doctrine
and School / if one does not wish to follow its principles?
Plato has his disciples /
and Aristotle has his / who believe them
