Note (return) — Rev. ANDREW LEE, A.M. (continued 2)
Reading edition
The renewed are said to be "dead to sin"—Can they do nothing which tends to wickedness? [13] Metaphors must be understood with latitude. We should involve ourselves in many absurdities, by always adhering to the literal sense of those used in scripture. Were we to adhere in all cases to the literal sense, we should believe Christ to be a rock, a door, a vine, and receive the Romish doctrine of transubstantiation.
