This book explores the complex relationship between religious authority and civil government in the context of Christianity, examining the historical evolution of ideas on obedience to authority. The author traces the development of these concepts from early Christian teachings to their influence on contemporary political thought, highlighting the various perspectives on the limits of the state's authority and the role of individual conscience. Through careful analysis of historical documents and philosophical treatises, this book sheds light on the ongoing debate surrounding religious freedom, the separation of church and state, and the balance between individual rights and collective responsibility. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

First Edition
Wrappers. First edition. pp. [4], 28. Small 8vo. Light chipping along edges, faint tide-marks to the front and rear page. Overall, good+. Charles Leslie was a notable Jacobite and nonjuror (one of the beneficed clergy in England and Scotland who refused to take an oath of allegiance to William and Mary or to their successors after the Glorious Revolution of 1688). A man of many talents Leslie - a deeply devout Catholic - wrote critically and widely on all topics concerning religion, politics, theology. One of a small number of Irish Protestants to actively support the Stuarts after 1688, he is best remembered today for his role in publicising the 1692 Massacre of Glencoe. He is also noted for his detailed critique of Miltons' Paradise Lost. This pamphlet was directed against the Lord Bishop of Exeter and Benjamin Hoadly (known for his 1717 sermon, 'The Nature of the Kingdom of Christ', which served as the catalyst for the Bangorian Controversy, a direct attack against Jacobites and their notions of government) and for their efforts against the Jacobites and their sympathies towards the Stuarts' claims to the monarchy.
