It becomes us, therefore, to be contented, and dutiful subjects.

Common tyrants, and public oppressors, are not intitled to obedience from their subjects, by virtue of any thing here laid down by the inspired apostle.

But let us remember, at the same time, government is sacred, and not to be trifled with.

Let us prize our freedom; but not use our liberty for a cloak of maliciousness.

For which reason I would exhort you to pay all due Regard to the government over us; to the KING and all in authority; and to lead a quiet and peaceable life.

It is our happiness to live under the government of a PRINCE who is satisfied with ruling according to law; as every other good prince will - We enjoy under his administration all the liberty that is proper and expedient for us.
