Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Law of God and the Statutes of Men: A Sermon, Preached at the Music Hall in Boston, on Sunday, June 18, 1854
"Thou shalt worship the Lord, thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve." - Matthew iv. 10.
Last Sunday I spoke of Trust in God, endeavoring to show that it involved an absolute confidence in the Purposes of God, and an absolute confidence in the Means thereunto, and consequently the practical Use thereof.
There is a matter of very great consequence connected herewith, namely this, - the Relation between a man's Religion and his Allegiance to the Church and the State. So this morning I ask your attention to a Sermon of our Duty to the Laws of God, and our Obligation to the Statutes of Men. It is a theme I have often spoken of; and what I shall say this morning may be regarded as occasional, and supplementary to the much that I have said, and printed, likewise, before.
In its primitive form, Religion is a mere Emotion; it is nothing but a feeling; an instinctive feeling; at first vague, shadowy, dim.
