176930434Boston: New-England: Richard Draper 1769. 55 1 blank pp with the half title which is torn without affecting text. Stitched and untrimmed. First sixteen pages with a heavy blotch which intrudes into the text but does not obscure it. Else Good. <br/><br/> This election sermon is an important illustration of the growing colonial resentment of Parliamentary abuses of power. Haven pastor of the First Church in Dedham subscribes to the 'natural rights' and 'social compact' theory of government. "By forming into civil society men do indeed give up some of their natural rights; but it is in prospect of a rich compensation in the better security of the rest and in the enjoyment of several additional ones that flow from the constitution of government." <br/> Despite the different types of government "the natural rights of the people.are the same under every form of government." He quotes "the great Mr. Locke" on the duty of the people to oppose tyranny and asserts that the colonists are justifiably apprehensive about Parliament's excessive assertions of authority most recently expressed in the Townshend Acts.<br/>FIRST EDITION.
