The Lord knows that I could not open scripture; he must by his prophetical office open it unto me. So after that being unsatisfied in the thing, the Lord was pleased to bring this scripture out of the Hebrews.

As I understand it, laws, commands, rules and edicts are for those who have not the light which makes plain the pathway.

I desire to know wherefore I am banished?
