Else Good. <br/><br/> A fine Sermon delivered soon after the repeal of the Stamp Act and just before enactment of the equally execrated Townshend Acts. Bridge warns that rulers have the duty to promulgate "only such laws as.are fit for the government of rational intelligent moral agents all equal and upon a par antecedent to any political combinations among men;" and not to abuse their God-given trust "by serving the purposes of ambition usurpation and tyranny.But I must not enlarge." <br/> Whatever the form of government all men "have a natural right" to enjoy freedom: "every man protected in his just rights sitting under his own vine and under his own fig tree.and none to make him afraid." Careful to be conciliatory he praises English rule even Parliament "which tho' liable to mistakes has yet been attentive to the good of the nation and kingdom and her colonies and dependencies." He praises God that the "late transactions" did not proceed "to that extremity which many feared and which would have terminated in.the ruin of the colonies." <br/>FIRST EDITION. Evans 10569.

178942124Boston: Printed by Adams & Nourse 1789. 54pp with the half title but lacking the final blank. Disbound. Half title and title leaves moderately foxed. Else a clean text. Good plus. <br /> <br /> Bridge speaks a few weeks after Washington's inauguration as President: "Man was originally formed for society and furnished with faculties adapted thereto." But not just any society-- only one which like the United States under its Constitution "protects the subjects in the peaceable possession of their just rights properties and priviledges." <br /> Bridge rejects one-man rule because the temptations of power are corrupting. He notes that God helped us obtain independence "upon terms too as honorable to America as they were humiliating to Britain." The rulers' task is to encourage education and useful pursuits and to distribute justice fairly and impartially. <br /> Bridge pleads for the bond-holders of the new country. They should be paid in full. "They risqued their dear-earned interest and their still dearer lives for the freedom of their country." America he says is "blest with the bright beams of gospel light and grace." <br /> FIRST EDITION. Evans 21713. Sabin 7808. Printed by Adams & Nourse unknown
