Excerpt from Correspondence Between the Rev. Robert Hall, M.A., His Friends, and the Writer of the Review: Which Appeared in the Christian Guardian for January 1822, of Mr. Hall's Apology for the Freedom of the Press and for General Liberty The political principles of the Bible are simple, distinct, and plain. The sacred writers enter into no niceties, draw no lines of exact demarcation, meet no involved cases of civil casuistry; but, speaking of mankind generally, as alike depraved and unruly, and of governments as the creations of God's providence, they inculcate without qualification, reservation, or restriction, the obvious and indispensable duties of submission, honour, and obedience.
