Excerpt from "Life of John Knox" by Thomas M’Crie

1853

This handwritten excerpt from Life of John Knox by Thomas M’Crie describes the first interview between John Knox and Mary Stuart. When Mary Stuart commented that Jews under the Babylon princes did not resist with the sword, Knox says that it was because God did not give them the means to do so. When the queen asks whether he thinks subjects should resist if they are given the power to do so, the reformer answers they may if the princes exceed their bounds and break the rules higher than themselves. He says when the princes’ “blind zeal is nothing but a mad frenzy,” taking power away from them and imprisoning them until they are brought to “a more sober mind” is “no disobedience against princes, but just obedience, because it agreeth with the will of God.” (Place of creation not identified.)

Extract from a sermon: "Hinderances to Spirtual Freedom" by Theodore Parker

1832

An extract from a Theodore Parker sermon on the "Hinderances to Spiritual Freedom." In this sermon, he writes of the bible, "if men will take a just view of it, will interpret its inspirations by reason and conscience, then it is of the greatest value, then you cannot spread it too fast or too far. If you take the other view, how it enslaves the mind of all Christendom against the spirit of bondage, I ask you to enjoy the glorious liberty of the sons of God."
