The Duty of Submission to Civil Authority, / A Sermon Preached in the Parish Church of Bradfield, Berkes, on Sunday, November 28, 1830, on Occasion of the Late Disturbances

The sermon expounds a biblical injunction to submit to civil authorities, defining every ordinance of man as rulers and governors and insisting that submission is owed regardless of a ruler's character; it uses apostolic example under oppressive governance to argue against rebellion, outlines submission as refraining from resistance in deed, word, or intention, and distinguishes lawful channels for redress; it frames the duty as motivated by divine ordinance and Christian conscience and considers practical implications for loyalty, social order, and pastoral responsibility.
