But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living
God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of
angels,
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are
written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the
spirits of just men made perfect,
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood
of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

It looks to me to be narrow and pedantic to apply the ordinary
ideas of criminal justice to this great public contest. I do not
