The context is a comparison of the way of the denominations and the way of the Local church.
The entire paragraph says”Oh, brothers, the Lord be merciful to us! No one can force us to take this way; but once we see it, no one can force us to drop it. It is so precious that we would never drop it. If we drop it, then we simply have no way to go on as a Christian. The only way to follow the Lord absolutely is to go the way of the Local church."
A couple of paragraphs earlier he said “We all must be so absolute. If you feel the denominations are right, then continue in them. But if you feel they are wrong and you have seen something of the local church, then pay the full price! Never be neutral.”
