Excerpt from The Law of Christ Respecting Civil Obedience: Especially in the Payment of Tribute, to Which Are Added Two Addresses on the Voluntary Church Controversy In these circumstances I felt constrained, in jus tice to the ministry with which I have been intrust ed, and to the truth which I conceived to be misro presented, to make, as public as possible, my real views of an important passage of Scripture, which, according to my accuser, I had not only misinterpret ed, but my misinterpretation of which, I had also em bodied in a course of conduct, equally inconsistent with the honour due to the divine law, and the re gard due to the public peace. The Exposition was delivered from the pulpit in two lectures, on the evenings of the third Sabbaths in December, 1837, and January, 1838, and immediately afterwards sent from the press. Looking back on the very remarkable manner in which I have been compelled to publish my views of the various topics discussed in this Exposition, I cannot help perceiving that I have been led by a way that I knew not, and in a path that I had not known and cherishing the hope that this statement of the truth, on an important, and but imperfectly understood portion of the law of Christ, may, by His blessing, be productive of some salutary results.
