Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Sketches of the Reformation "Human nature naturally dislikes an Authority which, though exercised by men, claims to be superhuman. The Civil Power is of the Earth, and akin to men themselves. Under some forms of constitution they share in it. At any rate, they understand it, or think they do, and therefore it does not offend their pride. This is singularly illustrated in Jewish History. The Jews had been governed by the Vicegerents of Heaven; but they clamoured for a temporal government. They told Samuel that they would have a King like other nations. He was commanded to tell them that by rejecting the Prophets they rejected God, and to warn them of all the evils which they would suffer under a temporal government. But they insisted on having a temporal King. And soon afterwards the King persecuted the Church." - Sir George Bowyer.
