Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Essays and Correspondence, Vol. 2: Chiefly on Scriptural Subjects In this certainly I have departed from my own usual course: yet, I hope, with such temperance of remark, as will exempt me from the charge of having departed from the Christian character. John Walker. Camden Street, Camden Town, London. To the Honourable the House of Commons of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. The Petition of the undersigned Christian people, resident in London, and sometimes distinguished by the name of Separatists, Humbly Sheweth, That Your Petitioners, as Christians, (A,) are peaceable and well-affected subjects of the State; thankful for the many blessings which they enjoy under its mild and tolerant Government; and mindful of the divine authority which binds them to obey the powers that be, as ordained of God, and to suffer patiently whatever they may be called to suffer for conscience sake. That they think it, however, consistent with this Christian duty, to renew their yearly appeal to the wisdom, justice, and humanity of Your Honourable House, for relief from the many trying losses and penalties to which they are subject, according to the existing laws of this country, in consequence of their obedience to the express command of Christ (B.) not to swear at all by any oath. That Your Petitioners have long publicly maintained, and (as they are persuaded) sufficiently proved, that they act only according to the real meaning of that divine prohibition in refusing to take any oath: and that while the sincerity of their conviction is established by the severe forfeitures which many in their Churches have actually incurred (C.), and the still more severe sufferings to which they are all continually exposed; - the arguments by which they have publicly supported their sentiment have never yet, as far as they know, been even plausibly answered.
