Excerpt from "Like Unto Me", Or the Resemblance Between Moses and Christ: A Working-Man's Views of the Relation of the Church to the People

And lie said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. (luke xxii. 35, It will be recollected, that, when the twelve and the seventy had been sent out to preach social reform, these commands had been laid upon them. They were now reversed, because the swift-approaching crucifixion was soon to remove all possibility. Of the fulfilment of the secular side Of the theocratic kingdom, which alone-ren dered full obedience to them possible.
