  (TM): Paley's Evidences is one of the very best summaries of the historical case for Christianity, making good use of the work of his great predecessors Lardner and Douglas. In Part I, which is the heart of the book, Paley sets out to establish two propositions:
  1. That there is satisfactory evidence that many professing to be original witnesses of the Christian miracles passed their lives in labours, dangers, and sufferings, voluntarily undergone in attestation of the accounts which they delivered, and solely in consequence of their belief of those accounts; and that they also submitted, from the same motives, to new rules of conduct, and
  2. That there is not satisfactory evidence that persons professing to be original witnesses of other miracles, in their nature as certain as these are, have ever acted in the same manner, in attestation of the accounts which they delivered, and properly in consequence of their belief of those accounts.
  In Part II he considers auxiliary evidences such as prophecy, the character of Christ, and the propagation of Christianity. In Part III he considers some popular objections to Christianity.

  Paley's work was required reading at both Oxford and Cambridge for nearly a hundred years since its publication in 1794.

  • Victor Shea, William Whitla. Essays and Reviews: The 1860 Text and Its Reading. University of Virginia Press, 2000. Extract, p. 269: "The standard treatises on 'evidences,' the prescribed texts for examination for students at Oxford and Cambridge were Butler's Analogy (1736) and Paley's A View of the Evidences of Christianity (1794) and Natural Theology, or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity Collected from the Appearances of Nature (1802). Paley's Moral and Political Philosophy (1875) was used for examinations at Cambridge and was required in 1802. As F. W. Newman wrote in Phases of Faith: 'The Christian Evidences are an essential part of the course of religious study at Oxford' (1850, 40). In 1850 a new edition of Evidences and Horae Paulinae was published in Cambridge with these comments in the Preface: 'By a Grace of the Senate it was decreed on March 23, 1849, that the Holy Scriptures and the Evidences of Christianity should assume a more important place than formerly in the Previous Examination. It is provided in the new regulations, which will take effect in 1851, that the examination in the Evidences of Christianity shall be extended to three hours. ... Paley's work has been used in the University, as the authorized text-book on the Evidences, for the last quarter of a century. It was appointed as one of the fixed subjects when the 'Previous Examination' was instituted in 1822' (Paley 1850, v-vi).
    ... At Cambridge, Paley's Evidences continued as a part of the first examination for undergraduates until 1920 (Clarke 1974, I; 127-129). By 1929 one commentator noted: 'Paley had never been much stressed at Oxford; now he is seen losing ground at Cambridge" (Robertson 1929, I: 229). For Leslie and Grotius see [Section] 24 and note.

    Each candidate shall produce testimonials of good moral conduct, under the hand of the principal or superior authority of the college or public institution in which he may have been educated, or under the hand of the private instructor to whose care he may have been confided; and the said testimonials shall have reference to his conduct during the two years immediately preceding his presentation for admission.

    Each candidate shall be examined in the Greek Testament, and shall not be deemed duly qualified for admission to Haileybury College, unless he be found to possess a competent knowledge thereof; nor unless he be able to render into English some portion of the works of one of the following Greek authors: Homer, Herodotus, Xenophon, Thucydides, Sophocles and Euripides; nor unless he can render into English some portion of the works of one of the following Latin authors: Livy, Terence, Cicero, Tacitus, Virgil and Horace; and this part of the examination will include questions in ancient history, geography and philosophy.

    Each candidate shall also be examined in modern history and geography, and in the elements of mathematical science, including the common rules of arithmetic, vulgar and decimal fractions, and the first four books of Euclid. He shall also be examined in moral philosophy, and in the evidences of the Christian religion as set forth in the works of Paley. ...

    In Dublin, where the system of examinations in the Divinity School is of much longer standing than in any English Universities, though with the slenderest results on theological aptitude or study in the Irish Church, students must pass four examinations at least, two in the junior and two in the senior year, in addition to having attended six terms of lectures, before receiving the final testimonium. The two chief examinations, at the close of each year's course, are of this sort:

    Junior Year.?1. Holy Scripture.?Four Gospels, and Acts. 2 Greek Testament.?Gospels and Romans. 3. Evidences.?Paley's Evidences. Butler's Analogy. Lee on Inspiration, selected portions. 4. Socinian Controversy.?Pearson on the Creed, Acts ii. and viii. Magee on the Atonement. 5. Ecclesiastical History.?Selections from Robertson's History of the Church.

    The Contemporary Review, Volume 35, A. Strahan, 1879. Extract, p. 17:
    At the London College of Divinity, Highbury, the course (except for men already well educated) is for three years, the longest of any, but, from a large endowment, also much the cheapest to resident students. The Cambridge Preliminary Examination is the standard aimed at, and, judging by the number of men from this college who have been creditably classed there, with a considerable measure of success. The course of study at the college itself is this:

    First year?Preparatory Greek and Latin class; Grammar and English Compositions; Lectures on Rawlinson's Ancient History, with special reference to Biblical History and Prophecy, and the basis of Ecclesiastical History; Lectures on Mediaeval History; Geography of Palestine; Old Testament, Gospels in Greek; Opuscula of St. Augustine; Patres Apostolici or Eusebius; Paley's Horae Paulinae; Ecclesiastical History of first Three Centuries; Thirty-nine Articles, Text and Scriptural bearings.

    Second year: Later Ecclesiastical History; History of Church of England; Paley's Evidences; Butler's Analogy; Pearson on the Creed; Greek Testament; Septuagint; Hebrew; Old Testament Exegesis; A Latin Subject.

    Third year: Greek Testament; Hebrew; Critical History of Bible; Thirty-nine Articles, considered historically and theologically; St. Augustine De Doctrina Christiana; Prayer Book; Hooker; Composition and Delivery of Sermons; Systematic training in Reading. The students also work in schools, mission-room services, workhouse visitations, &c.

    ...At Lichfield the course is for two years, or six terms of twelve weeks each, for non-graduates, one year for graduates; and a shorter time for such graduates as do not seek the college certificate. The studies pursued are these:?Bible, Old Testament in English, New Testament in Greek; Prayer Book, with examination of Primitive and Mediaeval Liturgies; Doctrines of the Church of England, in Creeds, Articles, and standard Divines; Church History, Primitive, Mediaeval, and Modern; Evidences; Canon Law; the principles of the more important English sects; and elementary instruction in Hebrew and Greek. The principal books in actual use are Eusebius, Eccl. Hist, (in English); Hardwick's Reformation, and sometimes his Middle Ages; Butler's Analogy and Sermons; Paley's Evidences; Pearson on the Creed; Blunt's Scriptural Coincidences; Smith's Student's Manuals of Old and New Testament; Blunt's Annotated Prayer Book; Blunt's Church Law; Professor J. J. Blunt's Duties of the Parish Priest. No text-book on the Thirty-nine Articles is prescribed, but a special course of lectures is devoted to them. Besides all this, the students are practised in public reading, and have to read the Lessons in turn at daily chapel; in public speaking, by means of debates, mission-room lectures, &c.; in writing sermons and theological essays; in Sunday and night-school teaching, and in catechizing; and in a knowledge of the elementary laws of health and disease, imparted by a physician. This is one of the most practical and sensible courses to be found in England, and lays stress on several important points not widely enforced.

    The Contemporary Review, Volume 35, A. Strahan, 1879. Extracts, pp. 19-20:

    At St. Aidan's, Birkenhead, the course is of two years. Junior year: Old Testament (half); New Testament, Gospels; Church History; selected period of Ancient History, Reformation, and Church of England; Thirty-nine Articles; Prayer Book; Lectures on Christian Ministry; Latin, and Hebrew. Senior year: Remaining Books of Old and New Testament, Connexion and General View; Development of Christian Doctrine; Evidences (Paley and Butler); History and Comparative View of Articles; Rubrics and reading the Services; Pastoral Theology, including preaching; Latin and Hebrew as before. The leading text-books in use are?Mosheim; Bishop Short's History of the Church of England; Browne on the Thirtynine Articles; Procter on Common Prayer; Butler's Analogy; Paley's Evidences. Students are further recommended Smith's Old and New Testament Histories, Canon Westcott's works, Conybeare and Howson's St. Paul, Hardwick and J. J. Blunt on the Reformation, Pearson on the Creed, Prayer Book Interleaved, J. J. Blunt's Duties of Parish Priest, Bridges on Christian Ministry, Oxenden on Pastoral Office.

    At St. Bees, the Cambridge Preliminary Examination is a standard recommended, but not enforced. Four terms of fourteen weeks each are necessary for the certificate, and students who choose to remain to study during a fifth may do so free of charge for tuition. The course is, Old Testament in English, New Testament in Greek and English; Church History; Paley's Evidences; Pearson on Creed, Arts. I.?XII.; Butler's Analogy; Procter on Common Prayer; Browne on Articles; Ayre's abridgment of Horne's Introduction to the Bible; Paley's Evidences; Theophilus Anglicanus; Sermon-writing; Pastoral Theology; Reading in church; a good deal of school-work in Greek and Latin; and as the college is specially meant for men with small means and imperfect training, there are lectures during the three vacations of the year, for all who choose to avail themselves thereof, besides special attention being given to any advanced students, who can go beyond the routine of the appointed studies.

  Olinthus Gregory, Letters on the Evidences, Doctrines, and Duties, of the Christian Religion, London, 1836, p. 99: ... "I must briefly advert to the cogent arguments so ably advanced by the late venerable Dr. Paley, drawn from the numerous obviously undesigned coincidences, mutually subsisting between the several Epistles of St. Paul, and the History of the Acts of the Apostles: these coincidences are so little seen by common observers, that it is impossible to suppose them the effect of forgery: an examination of them is sufficient to prove that neither the history was forged to square with the letters, nor the letters to accord with the history: that they are too numerous and close to be accounted for by the accidental, or by the designed, concurrences of fiction, or in any other way than by the uniformity of the tendency of truth to one point.*
  *"For a full development and application of this train of argumentation, see Dr. Paley's admirable work, entitled, Horæ Paulinæ. This book has now been published thirty years, during all which period, though many of the Infidel host have 'gnashed their teeth' at it in private, not one has attempted to refute it."

Review from Wesleyan-Methodist Magazine, v. 20. January 1841. p. 51. "The Horæ Paulinæ of Dr. Paley has been long known as the most original, and not the least valuable, of all his publications. Its design is, to prove the truth of the sacred writings, so far as St. Paul is concerned, by means of the undesigned coincidences between his Epistles, and St. Luke's narrative in the Acts of the Apostles; and the argument is brought out and sustained with irresistible effect. This great work (for such it is in reality) is vastly improved by Mr. Tate. By placing the whole of St. Paul's history in connexion with Dr. Paley's argument, he has rendered it more clear and striking. This book, in its amended form, should have a place in the library of every biblical and theological student."

The Horae Paulinae is a work by the great William Paley, better known for his version of the design argument. In the Horae, Paley goes systematically through the Pauline epistles and makes meticulous arguments showing their connections to one another and to the book of Acts. Paley shows again and again (and again and again) that these incidental and casual connections provide evidence both for the authenticity of the epistles and for the reliability of Acts and the origin of Acts as written by a companion of Paul.

    ... The relevance of all of this to the central truths of Christianity is indirect but important. One possible "out" for the skeptic concerning Jesus' resurrection is to say that the disciples themselves never actually said that Jesus came and talked to them after his resurrection in the detailed scenes we find in the Gospels. The idea is that these scenes were some sort of legendary accretion that "grew up" later on and that perhaps, at most, the disciples had some sort of vague experience or hallucination that could be better explained as a result of grief or religious enthusiasm. The specifics of the gospel accounts of Jesus' post-resurrection appearances are, if insisted upon, an embarrassment for the skeptics. If they are taken to be what the disciples actually claimed, one has to hypothesize either implausible and detailed lying on the part of the apostles, for which motive is severely lacking, or extreme, polymodal, repeated, and lengthy hallucinations that coincidentally involve multiple people at once. This is why it is a good deal more convenient to dismiss them as something other than what the disciples actually claimed.

    ... There is a free electronic copy of Paley's Horae Paulinae available on-line here. (In fact, there are several different editions available on-line. This is a particularly good one; the notes by Howson, the editor, are excellent.) Paley is quite reader-friendly, I find. His language, though formal by 21st century standards, flows beautifully.

  The justifying causes of war are, deliberate invasions of right, and the necessity of maintaining such a balance of power amongst neighbouring nations, as that no single state, or confederacy of states, be strong enough to overwhelm the rest.-- The objects of just war are, precaution, defence, or reparation. In a larger sense, every just war is a defensive war, inasmuch as every just war supposes an injury perpetrated, attempted, or feared.

  The insufficient causes or unjustifiable motives of war, are the family alliances, the personal friendships, or the personal quarrels, of princes; the internal disputes which are carried on in other nations; the justice of other wars; the extension of territory, or of trade; the misfortunes or accidental weakness of a neighbouring or rival nation.

Now if He was not the Son of God, He claimed to be, all the same; and how are you going to get along with those claims and explain them? It is evident at a glance that if His claims were false they can be explained only on the ground of His lunacy or His knavery. No other alternative remains. He was continually asserting that He was divine. If He was not divine, He deceived others purposely, and was a consummate liar, or He unintentionally deceived Himself, and was a helpless lunatic.

  "The object of a free civil government is the promotion and security of the happiness of the citizens. These effects cannot be produced, but by the knowledge and practice of our moral duties, which comprehend all the social and civil obligations of man to man, and the citizen to the State. If the civil magistrate in any State, could procure by his regulations an uniform practice of these duties, the government of that State would be perfect.
  "To obtain that perfection, it is not enough for the magistrate to define the rights of the several citizens, as they are related to life, liberty, property and reputation, and to punish those by whom they may be invaded. Wise laws, made to this end, and faithfully executed, may leave the people strangers to many of the enjoyments of civil and social life, without which their happiness will be extremely imperfect. Human laws cannot oblige to the performance of the duties of imperfect obligation; as the duties of charity and hospitality, benevolence and good neighbourhood; as the duties resulting from the relation of husband and wife, parent and child; of man to man as children of a common parent; and of real patriotism, by influencing every citizen to love his country, and to obey all its laws. These are moral duties, flowing from the disposition of the heart, and not subject to the control of human legislation.
  "Neither can the laws prevent by temporal punishment, secret offences committed without witness, to gratify malice, revenge, or any other passion, by assailing the most important and most estimable rights of others. For human tribunals cannot proceed against any crimes unless ascertained by evidence; and they are destitute of all power to prevent the commission of offences, unless by the feeble examples exhibited in the punishment of those who may be detected.
  "Civil government, therefore, availing itself only of its own powers, is extremely defective; and unless it could derive assistance from some superior power, whose laws extend to the temper and disposition of the human heart, and before whom no offence is secret; wretched indeed would be the state of man under a civil constitution of any form.
  "This most manifest truth has been felt by legislators in all ages; and as man is born not only a social but a religious being, so in the pagan world, false and absurd systems of religion were adopted and patronized by the magistrate, to remedy the defects necessarily existing in a government merely civil.
  "On these principles tested by the experience of mankind, and by the reflections of reason, the people of Massachusetts, in the frame of their government, adopted and patronized a religion, which by its benign and energetic influences, might co-operate with human institutions, to promote and secure the happiness of the citizens, so far as might be consistent with the imperfections of man.
  "In selecting a religion, the people were not exposed to the hazard of choosing a false and defective religious system; Christianity had long been promulgated, its pretensions and excellencies well known, and its divine authority admitted. This religion was found to rest on the basis of immortal truth; to contain a system of morals adapted to man in all possible ranks and conditions, situations and circumstances, by conforming to which he would be ameliorated and improved in all the relations of human life; and to furnish the most efficacious sanctions, by bringing to light a future state of retribution. And this religion as understood by Protestants, tending by its effects to make every man, submitting to its influences, a better husband, parent, child, neighbour, citizen and magistrate, was, by the people, established as a fundamental and essential part of their Constitution.
  "The manner in which this establishment was made, is liberal, and consistent with the rights of conscience on religious subjects. As religious opinions, and the time and manner of expressing the homage due to the Governor of the Universe, are points depending on the sincerity and belief of each individual, and do not concern the public interest, care is taken in the second article of the Declaration of Rights, to guard these points from the interference of the civil magistrate; and no mall can be hurt, molested or restrained in his person, liberty or estate, for worshipping God in the manner and season most agreeable to the dictates of his own conscience, or for his religious profession or sentiment, provided he does not disturb the public peace, or obstruct others in their religious worship; in which case he is punished, not for his religious opinions or worship, but because he interrupts others in the enjoyment of the rights he claims for himself, or because he has broken the public peace.
  "Having secured liberty of conscience, on the subject of religious opinion and worship for every man, whether Protestant or Catholic, Jew, Mahometan or Pagan, the Constitution then provides for the public teaching of the precepts and maxims of the religion of Protestant Christians to all the people. And for this purpose, it is made the right and duty of all corporate religious societies to elect and support a public Protestant teacher of piety, religion and morality; and the election and support of the teacher depend exclusively on the will of a majority of each society incorporated for those purposes. As public instruction requires persons who may be taught, every citizen may be enjoined to attend on some one of those teachers, at times and seasons stated by law, if there be any on whose instructions he can conscientiously attend.
  "In the election and support of a teacher, every member of the corporation is bound by the will of the majority; but as the great object of this provision was to secure the election and support of public Protestant teachers by corporate societies, and some members of any corporation might be of a sect or denomination of Protestant Christians different from the majority of the members, and might choose to unite with other Protestant Christians of their own sect or denomination, in maintaining a public teacher, who by law was entitled to support, and on whose instruction they usually attended; indulgence was granted, that persons thus situated might have the money they contributed to the support of public worship, and of the public teachers aforesaid, appropriated to the support of the teacher, on whose instructions they should attend.
  "Several objections have at times been made to this establishment, which may be reduced to three: that when a man disapproves of ally religion, or of any supposed doctrine of any religion, to compel him by law to contribute money for public instruction in such religion, or doctrine, is an infraction of his liberty of conscience;--that to compel a man to pay for public religious instructions, on which he does not attend, and from which he can, therefore, derive no benefit is unreasonable and intolerant; -- and that it is anti-Christian for any State to avail itself of the precepts and maxims of Christianity to support civil government; because the founder of it has declared, that his kingdom is not of this world.
  "These objections go to the authority of the people to make this Constitution, which is not proper nor competent for us to bring into question. And although we are not able, and have no inclination to assume the character of theologians, yet it may not be improper to make a few short observations, to defend our Constitution from the charges of persecution, intolerance and impiety.
  "When it is remembered, that no man is compellable to attend on any religious instruction, which he conscientiously disapproves; and that he is absolutely protected in the most perfect freedom of conscience in his religious opinions and worship; the first objection seems to mistake a man's conscience for his money, and to deny the State a right of levying and of appropriating the money of the citizens, at the will of the Legislature, in which they are all represented. But as every citizen derives the security of his property, and the fruits of his industry from the power of the State; so, as the price of this protection, he is bound to contribute in common withhis fellow-citizens for the public use, so much of his property and for such public uses, as the State shall direct. And if any individual can lawfully withhold his contribution, because he dislikes the appropriation, the authority of the State to levy taxes would be annihilated; and without money it would soon cease to have any authority. But all monies raised and appropriated for public uses by any corporation, pursuant to powers derived from the State, are raised and appropriated substantially by the authority of the State. And the people in their Constitution, instead of devolving the support of public teachers on the corporations by whom they should be elected, might have directed their support to be defrayed out of the public treasury, to be reimbursed by the levying and collection of state taxes. And against this mode of support, the objection of an individual disapproving of the object of the public taxes, would have the same weight it can have, against the mode of public support through the medium of corporate taxation. In either case, it can have no weight to maintain a charge of persecution for conscience sake. The great error lies in not distinguishing between liberty of conscience in religious opinions and worship, and the right of appropriating money by the State. The former is an unalienable right, the latter is surrendered to the State as the price of protection.
  "The second objection is, that it is intolerant to compel a man to pay for religious instruction, from which, as he does not hear it, he can derive no benefit. This objection is founded wholly in mistake. The object of public religious instruction is, to teach and to enforce by suitable arguments, the practice of a system of correct morals among the people, and to form and cultivate reasonable and just habits and manners; by which every man's person and property are protected from outrage; and his personal and social enjoyments promoted and multiplied. From these effects every man derives the most important benefits, and whether he be or be not an auditor of any public teacher, he receives more solid and permanent advantages from this public instruction, than the administration of justice in courts of law can give him. The like objection may be made by any man to the support of public schools if he have no family who attend; and any man who has no law suit may object to the support of judges and jurors on the same ground; when if there were no courts of law, he would unfortunately find that causes for law suits would sufficiently abound.
  "The last objection is founded upon the supposed anti-Christian conduct of the State, in availing itself of the precepts and maxims of Christianity, for the purposes of a more excellent civil government. It is admitted that the founder of this religion did not intend to erect a temporal dominion, agreeably to the prejudices of his countrymen; but to reign in the hearts of men by subduing their irregular appetites and propensities, and by moulding their passions to the noblest purposes. And it is one great excellence of his religion, that not pretending to worldly pomp and power, it is calculated and accommodated to ameliorate the conduct and condition of man under any form of civil government.
  "The objection goes further, and complains that Christianity is not left for its Promulgation and support, to the means designed by its author, who requires not the assistance of man to effect his purposes and intentions. Our Constitution certainly provides for the punishment of many breaches of the laws of Christianity; not for the purpose of propping up the Christian religion, but because those breaches are offences against the laws of the State; and it is a civil, as well as religious duty of the magistrate, not to bear the sword in vain. But there are many precepts of Christianity, of which the violation cannot be punished by human laws; and as the obedience to them is beneficial to civil society, the State has wisely taken care that they should be taught and also enforced by explaining their moral and religious sanctions, as they cannot be enforced by temporal punishments. And from the genius and temper of this religion, and from the benevolent character of its author, we must conclude that it is his intention, that man should be benefited by it in his civil and political relations, as well as in his individual capacity And it remains for the objector to prove, that the patronage of Christianity by the civil magistrate induced by the tendency of its Precepts to form good citizens, is not one of the means, by which the knowledge of its doctrines was intended to be disseminated and preserved among the human race.
  "The last branch of the objection rests on the very correct position, that the faith and precepts of the Christian religion are so interwoven that they must be taught together; whence it is inferred, that the State by enjoining instruction in its precepts, interferes with its doctrines, and assumes a Power not entrusted to any human authority.
  "If the State claimed the absurd power of directing or controlling the faith of the citizens, there might be some ground for the objection. But no such power is claimed. The authority derived from the Constitution extends no further than to submit to the understandings of the people, the evidence of truths deemed of public utility, leaving the weight of the evidence and the tendency of those truths, to the conscience of every man.
  "Indeed this objection must come from a willing objector; for it extends in its consequences, to prohibit the State from providing for public instruction in many branches of useful knowledge which naturally tend to defeat the arguments of infidelity, to illustrate the doctrines of the Christian religion, and to confirm the faith of its professors.
  "As Christianity has the promise not only of this, but of a future life; it cannot be denied that public instruction in piety, religion and morality by Protestant teachers, may have a beneficial effect beyond the present state of existence. And the people are to be applauded, as well for their benevolence as for their wisdom, that in selecting a religion, whose precepts and sanctions might supply the defects in civil government, necessarily limited in its power, and supported only by temporal penalties, they adopted a religion founded in truth; which in its tendency will protect our property here, and may secure to us an inheritance in another and a better country."

  "2d. Doctrinally; as presenting us with a true account of the principles and doctrines of the people of (rod; their holy faith and patience: I cannot phrase it better than a divine glass in which we see (I say, we see, who first have that heavenly organ, an eye opened by inspiration and revelation) the states and conditions of the primitive saints, which is matter of unspeakable comfort and confirmation, as well as of good example to us.

  "I do declare to the whole world, that we believe the Scriptures to contain a declaration of the mind and will of God in and to .those ages in which they were written; being given forth by the Holy Ghost, moving in the hearts of holy men of God; that they ought also to be read, believed, and fulfilled in our day; being useful for reproof and instruction, that the man of God may be perfect.

  "They are a declaration and testimony of heavenly things, but not the heavenly things themselves; and, as such, we carry an high respect unto them. We accept them as the words of God himself; and, by the assistance of his Spirit, they are read with great instruction and comfort."

  From The Select Works of William Penn, Volume 2, 4th edition, 1825.
  "Moderation, the subject of this discourse, is, in plainer English, liberty of conscience to church-dissenters: a cause I have, with all humility, undertaken to plead, against the prejudices of the times.
  "That there is such a thing as conscience, and the liberty of it, in reference to faith and worship towards God, must not be denied, even by those that are most scandalized at the ill use some seem to have made of such pretences. But to settle the terms: by conscience, I understand, the apprehension and persuasion a man has of his duty to God: by liberty of conscience, I mean, a free and open profession and exercise of that duty; especially in worship: but I always premise this conscience to keep within the bounds of morality, and that it be neither frantic or mischievous, but a good subject, a good child, a good servant, in all the affairs of life; as exact to yield to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, as jealous of withholding from God the thing that is God's. --In brief, he that acknowledges the civil government under which he lives, and that maintains no principle hurtful to his neighbour in his civil property.
  "For he that in any thing violates his duty to these relations, cannot be said to observe it to God, who ought to have his tribute out of it. Such do not reject their prince, parent, master, or neighbour, but God, who enjoins that duty to them. Those pathetic words of Christ will naturally enough reach the case, 'In that ye did it not to them, ye did it not to me:' for duty to such relations hath a divine stamp; and divine right runs through more things of the world, and acts of our lives, than we are aware of; and sacrilege may be committed against more than the church. Nor will a dedication to God, of the robbery from man, expiate the guilt of disobedience: for though zeal could turn gossip to theft, his altars would renounce the sacrifice.

Abstract: "'Desiring God' is a paradigm-shattering work that dramatically alters common perspectives on relating to God. Piper reveals that there really is no need to choose between duty and delight in the Christian life. In fact, for the follower of Jesus, delight is the duty as Christ is most magnified in His people when they are most satisfied in Him.
  "Constantly drawing on Scripture to build his case, Piper shows why pursuing maximum joy is essential to glorifying God. He discusses the implications of this for conversion, worship, love, Scripture, prayer, money, marriage, missions, and suffering. Piper beckons us to approach God with the hedonist's abandon. Finally, we are freed to enjoy Jesus--not only as our Lord and Savior, but also as our all-surpassing, soul-satisfying Treasure. 'Desiring God' may turn your Christian world upside down. And that will be a good thing, for the glory of God, and for your deepest joy.

• "Inaugural Address" (March 4, 1845).
  ... If the more aged and experienced men who have filled the office of President of the United States even in the infancy of the Republic distrusted their ability to discharge the duties of that exalted station, what ought not to be the apprehensions of one so much younger and less endowed now that our domain extends from ocean to ocean, that our people have so greatly increased in numbers, and at a time when so great diversity of opinion prevails in regard to the principles and policy which should characterize the administration of our Government? Well may the boldest fear and the wisest tremble when incurring responsibilities on which may depend our country's peace and prosperity, and in some degree the hopes and happiness of the whole human family.
  In assuming responsibilities so vast I fervently invoke the aid of that Almighty Ruler of the Universe in whose hands are the destinies of nations and of men to guard this Heaven-favored land against the mischiefs which without His guidance might arise from an unwise public policy. With a firm reliance upon the wisdom of Omnipotence to sustain and direct me in the path of duty which I am appointed to pursue, I stand in the presence of this assembled multitude of my countrymen to take upon myself the solemn obligation "to the best of my ability to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."
  ... Confidently relying upon the aid and assistance of the coordinate departments of the Government in conducting our public affairs, I enter upon the discharge of the high duties which have been assigned me by the people, again humbly supplicating that Divine Being who has watched over and protected our beloved country from its infancy to the present hour to continue His gracious benedictions upon us, that we may continue to be a prosperous and happy people.

  Fellow-Citizens of the Senate and of the House of Representatives:
  It is to me a source of unaffected satisfaction to meet the representatives of the States and the people in Congress assembled, as it will be to receive the aid of their combined wisdom in the administration of public affairs. In performing for the first time the duty imposed on me by the Constitution of giving to you information of the state of the Union and recommending to your consideration such measures as in my judgment are necessary and expedient, I am happy that I can congratulate you on the continued prosperity of our country. Under the blessings of Divine Providence and the benign influence of our free institutions, it stands before the world a spectacle of national happiness.
  With our unexampled advancement in all the elements of national greatness, the affection of the people is confirmed for the Union of the States and for the doctrines of popular liberty which lie at the foundation of our Government.
  It becomes us in humility to make our devout acknowledgments to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe for the inestimable civil and religious blessings with which we are favored.
  ... I trust it may not be deemed inappropriate to the occasion for me to dwell for a moment on the memory of the most eminent citizen of our country who during the summer that is gone by has descended to the tomb. The enjoyment of contemplating, at the advanced age of near fourscore years, the happy condition of his country cheered the last hours of Andrew Jackson, who departed this life in the tranquil hope of a blessed immortality. His death was happy, as his life had been eminently useful. He had an unfaltering confidence in the virtue and capacity of the people and in the permanence of that free Government which he had largely contributed to establish and defend. His great deeds had secured to him the affections of his fellow-citizens, and it was his happiness to witness the growth and glory of his country, which he loved so well. He departed amidst the benedictions of millions of free-men. The nation paid its tribute to his memory at his tomb. Coming generations will learn from his example the love of country and the rights of man. In his language on a similar occasion to the present, "I now commend you, fellow-citizens, to the guidance of Almighty God, with a full reliance on His merciful providence for the maintenance of our free institutions, and with an earnest supplication that whatever errors it may be my lot to commit in discharging the arduous duties which have devolved on me will find a remedy in the harmony and wisdom of your counsels."

Welsh moral and political philosopher. D.D. L.L.D. and fellow of the Royal Society of London, and of the Academy of Arts and Sciences in New-England. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, "He had from the first been strongly opposed to the war, and in 1776 he published a pamphlet entitled Observations on Civil Liberty and the Justice and Policy of the War with America. Several thousand copies of this work were sold within a few days; a cheap edition was soon issued; the pamphlet was extolled by one set of politicians and abused by another; amongst its critics were Dr Markham, archbishop of York, John Wesley, and Edmund Burke; and Price rapidly became one of the bestknown men in England. He was presented with the freedom of the city of London, and it is said that his pamphlet had no inconsiderable share in determining the Americans to declare their independence. A second pamphlet on the war with America, the debts of Great Britain, and kindred topics followed in the spring of 1777. His name thus became identified with the cause of American independence. He was the intimate friend of Franklin; he corresponded with Turgot; and in the winter of 1778 he was invited by Congress to go to America and assist in the financial administration of the states. This offer he refused from unwillingness to quit his own country and his family connexions. In 1781 he received the degree of D.D. from Yale College." Learn more about Price here.

  "Let our honorable RULERS of every kind and order, from the highest to the lowest, remember those admirable CIVIL LEADERS of this people, that have gone before us, and imitate their great example.

  "They were mostly men of good estates and families, of liberal educations, and of large experience: But they chiefly excelled in piety to GOD, in zeal for the purity of His worship, the reverence of His glorious and fearful Name, the strict observance of His holy Sabbaths, the respect and maintenance of an unblemished ministry; the spread of knowledge, learning, good order, quiet, through the land, a reign of righteousness, and the welfare of this people. In short, the making and executing wholesome laws for all these blessed ends: And in wisdom, courage, patience, meekness, self-denial for the public good, and steadfast perseverance in their endeavors after it.

  "They laid the wise foundations of our succeeding and present happiness: They united with their pastors in consultations and endeavors for the advancement and preservation of religion, and the privileges, peace and order of the churches: By their grave and prudent carriage, they happily preserved a veneration for their persons and authority among the people: And yet carefully protected them in the full enjoyment of their precious liberties."
