Wed. 15.―By reflecting on an odd book which I had read in this journey, The General Delusion of Christians with regard to Prophecy,{2} I was fully convinced of what I have long suspected: (1) That the Montanists,{3} in the second and third centuries, were real, scriptural Christians; and (2) That the grand reason why the miraculous gifts were so soon withdrawn, was not only that faith and holiness were wellnigh lost, but that dry, formal, orthodox men began even then to ridicule whatever gifts they had not themselves, and to decry them all as either madness or imposture.
