Synopsis
Excerpt from The Contemporary Review, Vol. 54: July-December, 1883
The Elector Frederick was a prudent experienced prince, who had no desire to quarrel with the Sec of Rome; but he had seen into the infamy of the Indulgences, and did not mean to hand over one of his subjects to the summary process with which the Pope would have closed the controversy. The old Emperor Maximilian was a wiseman too. He was German to the heart, and the Germans had no love for Italian supremacy. Pregnant sayings are reported by Luther of Maximilian: There are three kings in Europe,' he once observed, the Emperor, the King of France, and the Kiug of England. I am a king of kings. If I give an order to the princes of the empire, they obey if they please; if they do not please, they disobey. The King of France is a king of asses. He orders what he pleases, and they obey like asses. The King of England is king of a loyal nation. They obey him with heart and mind a faithful subjects.
A secretary had embezzled gulden. Maximilian sent for him, and asked what should be done to a confidential servant who had robbed his master. The secretary recommended the gallows. Nay, nay, the Emperor said, and tapped him on the shoulder, I cannot spare you yet.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the premise that society has its origins in an understanding of God and man's obedience to Him, arguing that faith is the foundation of any true community. The author begins by defining the terms of this proposition, considering the nature of the commonwealth, civil life, and social life. They go on to explore the domestic roots of the commonwealth, arguing that the eternal relations of authority, obedience, and brotherhood are not man-made, but rather stem from God and nature itself. The author then draws comparisons between the Hebrew, Greek, and Roman worlds, highlighting the role of divine law and sacredness in the home and state. They conclude by examining the Christian world, emphasizing that it is the product of Christian homes created by Christian marriage. The author argues that the laws and relations of the natural home were confirmed by a higher sanction and invested with a deeper spiritual significance, ultimately concluding that a society without God has no real foundation, since the very laws that hold it together are derived from a higher power.
