Synopsis
Excerpt from The Citizen and the Commonwealth: A Discourse Delivered in the First Congregational Church in Holliston, on the Day of the Annual State Fast, April 10, 1851
Passing, then, these preliminaries, I purpose now to show more at length, my opinion and its reasons, respecting our relations as citizens to laws and law-makers, as this question has been freshly started upon us by the recent slave-legislation of Congress, and its unfortunate results in our own near vicinity.
I commence with a position which I shall assume to need no defense - that God is of right the Supreme Law-giver over all orders of accountable beings. Consequently no inferior legislation can innocently conflict with his will, where this is clearly, explicitly announced.
