that loveth father or mother more than ine is not worthy of

3. In the third book of Testimonies: ' Likewise^ in the
gospel according- to Mark ; " And when ye stand praying-
forgive, if ye have ought against any, that your Father also
which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses ;" '
ch. xi. 25,26. So this gospel is several times quoted in this
work : in other tracts after this manner; ' Whom' the Lord
reproves and blames in his gospel, saying- :
" Ye reject the
commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradi-
tion ;" ' ch. vii. 9.
4. In the first book of Testimonies: ' Likewise? in the
g-ospel according* to Luke; "And it came to pass, that when
i^lisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her
womb, and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost " *
Luke i. 41,42, 4^3. In the tract on the Lord's prayer; ' Which *•
the Lord teacheth iu his gospel, saying :
" Two men Avent up
to the temple to pray, the one a pharisee, the other a pub-
lican," ' to the end of the parable, ch. xviii. 10 14.
Again :
' ' So the widow Anna, as it is written in the gospel,
" departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings
and prayers, night and day ;" ' ch. ii. 37.
6. In the first book of Testimonies :
' Likewise'' in the
gospel according- to John " ; He came to his own, and his
own received him not. As many as received him, to them
gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them
that believe on his name:" ' ch. i. 11, 12. In' the next
book of Testimonies he quotes the first five verses of this
gospel. In one of his epistles :
' Let"' them imitate the Lord,
who near the time of his passion was not more proud, but more
humble ; for then he washed his disciples' feet, saying- : " If
I your lord and master have w^ashed your feet, ye also ought
to wash the feet of others; for I have given you an example,
that ye should do as I have done ;" ' John xiii. 14, 15.
