Excerpt from Divine and Human Rights, or the Westminster Confession and the Constitution of the United States Tested by the Holy Scriptures
So long as church courts leave their members free to vote or not, as they may think proper, the discussion ofthe question of allegiance to the constitution should produce no alienation of brotherly love. It belongs to those who cannot vote, to bear with their brethren who can, or secede. Those who do vote have no right to take ofi'ence at such as do not, so long as their own liberty remains untouched. Yet, there is a disposition in many of the voters to persecute non-voters, which is wrong, and a sad evidence of a bad cause.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a discourse on the relationship between human governments and divine law. The author, drawing on the Westminster Confession of Faith, argues that civil government is the ordinance of man but is also subject to the moral law of God. The author analyzes the nature of magistracy, the obligation of subjects to obey magistrates, and the nature and extent of that obedience. The book also discusses the duty of Christians to bear witness against immoral laws and the duty of magistrates to recognize the being and authority of God. The author concludes by arguing that the insights in this book are significant because they provide a framework for understanding the relationship between human government and divine law, a relationship that is essential for the well-being of both church and state.
