and to see that every thing which had been introduced into Christianity, without the authority of God's Spirit, must be Dr Dre Headphones parted with; Beats By Dre and that the true Christian life, which is a new and heavenly birth, brought forth in the soul, must be witnessed by all that would merit a title to the Christian name."And great fear fell upon them which saw them." Like unto the fear of the Moabites when they sent for Balaam to curse the children of Israelthe type of Christianity.Perhaps there never was a period of more diversity of religious opinions, than the one in which George Fox appeared, to preach the true living gospel of Christ, which had long been buried in mystery and superstition, or smothered with human conjectures and opinions. Notwithstanding the different parties were contending amongst themselves, they generally together in opposing his doctrines. Though he was a person little conversant amongst menuneducated in arts, languages and sciencesunversed in the various modes of divinityunprotected by men, and subjected to the mobbings of upwards of one hundred opposers from the press, besides the misrepresentations which teemed from the pulpits, yet, in opposition to the pride, policy and power of a learned priesthood, Beats By Dr Dre and a prejudiced people, with a bigoted magistracy at their head, he was made instrumental, through the simple doctrine of the cross of Christ, to the turning many thousands, not from one form into another, but from spiritual darkness into spiritual lightfrom a state of spiritual death, to a life of righteousness: and, in some instances, from habitual vice to a course of strict virtue.The tenor of his doctrine was to wean men from systems, ceremonies and outside religious contrivances; and to lead them to an acquaintance with themselves, by a most solicitous attention to what passed in their own minds: directing them to a principle of spiritual Kfe, manifested in their own souls; which, if duly attended to, would introduce rectitude of mind, simplicity of manners, and a life and conversation adorned with every Christian virtue; and to the enjoyment of that true and substantial peace, which the panting soul had been looking for, and longing after, which id the effect of righteousness.The success and fruits of his ministry show, that he was endowed with qualifications and authority superior to those conferred by universities, or the appointment or ordination of men.
