i currencc in eoiisc(|iience of the union which
; God has established between tlicse two con
stituent pans of man, such as to speak, to

Those actions which either in their origin
or direction, depend upon the soul, arc vailed
human cr voluntary; all the rest are termed
merely phy sical. The soul is therefore the
principle <.I human actions; and these actions
cann it be the object of rule, lint as tliev are
piG'lueod and directed by those noble facul
ties, with which man can only be emielicd
by his creator.
Having taken a concise view-of man as an
individual, v\e will turn onr attention to an
a- a-iohlage ol men, winch w-as fii -t occasion
ed from necessity, on account uf their mutual
w..n?s; rules were soon found necessary for
t'leir regulation*: to see that those rules w ere
exeeuted, it was indispensable there should
lie some on.- or morn appointed for that pur-
juiM ; thus the multitude agreed to liv e in sub
jection io a ruler <*1 rulers, in order tn find
through bis protection and cate the happiness
to which they aspired. Society or govern-
ntent being thus organized, those in power
tell and knew but one obligation; that was
their 0 nn d depeinleoee on God, inasmuch
as be a i.l given them lwing, and uuuspqurnt

wV’i.s t.llow :;s may surprjsy e_. a love
incut, but on mature reflection, you will view
it the smne. God is our creator, it is from
him we receive and hold our life and reason,
and all our faculties; lie is therefore master of
his work, and call and has preset ibed rules
^ind rulei s.and this is the very foundation of
all authority. AA e may nevertla-less obsene
tii-at the relation tlicre is between tlie gover
nor and govcrtifd, forms a society between
them, hut of a particular kind, which w e may
call a society of inequality, where the gover
nor commands and the governed obey.—
Thu governor or ruler is 'therefore he who
I ,as a right lo command; •ml tn command is
directing the actions of those who are subject
to us iKcording to our ou n will, and with au
thority or thr power nf constraint.
Hv the wisdom ot our all wise ovealor, he is
thoroughly acquainted with the nature and
constitution ol those on whom laws arc to be
imposed, and knows their faculties and
strength, and in what tie ir real interest con
sists. lie. caunot therefore he mistaken ei
ther in tlie designs of their rulers in what
they propose lor the benefit of the govt rued ;
or in the means they employ in order to at
tain them. 1 consider it unneeessarv to go
through a long train of argument to disprove
tlie sophisticated theories of government, en
gendered in the brains of mere political
die,nners, in which they have vainly attempt
ed to exclude divine interposition into tho-
spnit ot our social compacts; but will only
ead votir attention to sacred writ, the sure
and unr-iiing guide ofits faithful followers.—
In Raul’s epistJe to the Romans, eh. 13. AVo
read “ Let every soul be- subject unto live
hittli powers, lor there is no power but of
God; the powers that fie are ordained of God,
whosoever therefore resisteth tlie power, ru-
sisteth the ordinance of God; and they that
resist shall receive to themselves damnation,
for rulers are not a terror to good works, but
to the evil.” Again, in 1st Peter, 2nd ch.
“Submit yourselves to every ordinance of
man for the Lords sake; whetlier it ft- to tlie
king a* supreme, or unto governors, aA unto
them that arc sent by him for tlie punishment
of evil doers, and for the praise of them that
do well.”
In all kingdoms and commonw ealths in the
world, whetlier the prince lie supreme father
ot the people, or but true lieir to such father,
or come io the crown by usurpation or elnv
tion, or vvhethersome few or a multitude go-,
vein the commonwealth, they hold l>v divine
tenure, and inu*t be considered as ruling by
‘■■vine peimission; it consequently must fol
low that vv liatcvcr may be done receives tk*
sanction of our heavenly fall#,. This cer
tainly i* to be qualified in some degree, for if
tlio«e in pow-c r have a design to iuin the rum-
nionvvealth as:s recorded of Nero, that liere-
solyetl to lav waste the city id Home with fue
and sword, cut ott the people and remove to
some other place; and of Caligula who open
ly declared tint he would no longet head the
Senate, ar:d that he vvishetj the people had
but one neck that lie ininlit dispatch tlirm all
at fine blow Such designs is these immedi
ately manifest the intention of ll.** ruler to
destroy his people, he llieieby pills bin sell at
open war with the community, and vntnally
abdicates all right to power. It is a principle
sanctioned by a thousand ages, (tlie loots ol
"lueh we are not willing to distmh if w-e
rould) that it matters not how mankind get
into power, whether by election, donation,
succession, or bv any other meal’s, that the
deliberative opinion of that power vvl.cn
made known must be obeyed; this is inherent
in the very orieinofsociety, and to att'-nq tto
establish a contrary doclitnenttliisday, would
doubtless lead to the most ruinous consequen
ces. Koine power nuist govern, and that
must bp delegated to a few; it is inconsistent
with tlie n arc uf government that tin: whole
multitude should do so, for if we had to if*
sort to *ti(-|i a system, we would be at one*
plunged into man's original state of anarchy
and confusion.
