the greatest interest. Infants born to the care of parents, and the care of true government, to train up in new born light; the posterior son to escape from the powerful claws of original wrong, or for what does God smile on the children of Columbia, beyond those of Israel; no kings are here, the Atlantic cuts off the chain of hereditary evil. God's favored providence has taught the new world, his effulgent course aloft from civil ob- ́ structions; his divine practice through inspired agency, are examples for us of his goodness; which modernly shines in the dawn of glory, no longer in the hard service of kings, to be frightened by witches and hidings of meridian suns. All injunctions and oppositions are understood; through thunder storms we anticipate our safety; our conscience brilliant and clear, we behold with pleasure the luminaries, the aerial clouds of flight, their regular course whose injunctions by us foretold no longer trouble; nor the wonders of water, its liquidity no longer astonishes; that cause which rolls round the globe and directs the needle to the poles, divine wisdom teaches; effects of an invisible God, we now more than know, what acts, visionary to the eye, or undulating to the ear, but glorious representations by a knowledge of simple elements of known difference, the soul enjoys, where endless variety hardly astonishes: and simple and plain is all law to the modern genious, faithful all the motions of the heavens, to the divine course of real truth, that father of all science, all knowledge.

Where has man a greater interest than in the knowledge of things? he flies to the window to behold what passes.

So great was the knowledge of our Saviour for posterity, that he even died in that interest; what was it? true charity, in other words equal government. The benevolent examples of Christ are even impressed in the hearts of infidels, who despise the saving love. Bright philosophers boast of knowledge and deny its fountain, to relieve the starving stranger in some there is an interest, in something all are actuated by interest. The evil design gives impulse to aristocracy, while the motives of good exceeds the counterbalance.

There is nothing in being but what acts from the impulse of the love of interest; the power of God and · all his works of opposite parts to each other, have no other liberty; an elevated stone falls to the ground from no other impulse.

All governments flow from interest according to the law of their liberties, either absolute or relative; the liberty of going relatively wrong, and the absolute liberty of getting right, is all liberty there is no other, all things not relatively wrong, are absolutely right.

Morality lost in civility is found in divinity.

Continue in the rough road of tradition from the mother of iniquity, and our liberty leads us relatively wrong; into war and confusion, but to retrace our steps over the great fields of divinity, and our heavenly father of divine liberty directs us absolutely right, unto peace and salvation, and all is order.

As the liberty of the moral one, is lost in the charming liberty of the civil few; so is the charming liberty of the civil few, lost in the millennium liberty of the divine whole.

Adam, and the fathers of all the families of his posterity were first actuated by good motives; but all except a few as Abram and Washington, who ever obtained ·· a civil office, became proud of its flattering charms: and the longer they held it the longer wanted it; and hated much to retire, not only that loaves and fishes are charms to those, who hate the blistered hands, but proud to be masters, and dupes their proselytes, grind on to servitude; and themselves climb aloft to the false royal throne of the devil; to reign in hell during life, on the fine charms of the serpent, in rebellion to their God.

To all such who severely ache to rebel in the office of kings against their maker, pride has become their shameful downfall, even that of fathers over children, where is the moral father the truest of all monarchs, that are never dethroned ? and where are the slaves of servitude but are dethroned in misery ? all the moral kings of the world have fallen victims to the cold arms of civilians and this by means of moral liberty, metamorphosed inte. that of civil.

Falling monarchy by the liberty of moral law, to the lies of domineering aristocracy, rises with the divine law of conquering democracy.

Amidst the clashing oppositions of aristocracy and democracy, all monarchs are hurled from their high throne of morality.

All governments are like wheels, all within one. The outer wheel is the great system of unlimited democ racy, which extends the world around, and includes in it all government: the wheels next in size, are the rattling and clashing aristocracies, called kingdoms, empires, states and principalities, and which are no governments · because they are doomed to war; which aristocracies or wheels of middle size, include within their vassalaged territories, all the small wheels, and which are the private families of the world each a monarchy, whose dominion extends only over his family and property; or over what he owns.

All true monarchs are moral kings, and are as thick as independent fathers. All civil kings are aristocratical kings of rebellions, as thick as the domineering states of hell; and the great king of all kings, or divine king of heaven, the grand king of unbounded democracy.

As the civil kings of the devil's kingdom, have dethroned all moral kings of their forbidden dominion of rebellion so the divine king of God's unbounded dominion, dethrones all civil kings, and extends his millennium.

As from the falling king of Alpha, all monarchs have fallen lost rebels of aristocracy; so from the re deeming king of Omega, they ascend found in the obedience of democracy.

All kings and their agents, are either the servants of God or of the devil. All who are human masters are the devil's servants, and all who are masters of the devil are the servants of God and of his people. The souls of all the wise, who are the divine servants of God, are angels of light, the salt of the earth; the only channele through which our heavenly kings angelic love, pours forth his redeeming light, which directs us to aid the weak and oppose the strong. To aid the innocent wa

aid the weak, and love our God, to withhold our aid from the powerful rogues, vile aristocracy has no being, and civil kings ends this life; while the grand king of divinity forever lives, whose servants are forever free, for he is the same king both of Alpha and Omega, every where of all ages.

As the greatest of all the servants of God is the greatest king of divinity; so is the greatest of all the devil's servants, the greatest king of civility. The greater the falling angels from divinity, the weaker their power in civility.

All moral independency consists in divinity; civil governments can never destroy moral liberty; so long as the independent moralist, not knuckling to the worldly enticements of aristocracy, attends circumspectly to his great rights of divinity.

Like Adam before his fall, every independent father of the world, in obedience to his divine king, are each of them independent moralists; moral kings and governors over their obedient families and property, and are the only monarchs, and whose governments the only monarchies of the world; all others are aristocracies, except one democracy.

The moral power of a monarch, consists of his soul, competent only to extend in the government of one family, obedient to the democracy of one divine king-a ·· falling monarchy purely consists of but one family in the same room-moral power cannot extend dominion beyond the presence of its monarch; one mortal cannot act in the moral power of another; there is no moral agency in one mortal to be transferred to another, all agency of man for man is civility. There is a moral agency in man to act as he has a mind, contrary to any civil engagement, it is impossible for man to act but with moral cause, which is opposite to civil liberty, morality depends only on divinity, which is man's perfect liberty. Man cannot be a civil agent, without some kind of moral inducement to act as he has a mind, contrary to any civil power, according to his moral liberty or pleasure of his moral agency. Monarchs cannot employ others disinterestedly to act for nothing; and if others are civilly compensated, they immediately become civil

parties, interestedly concerned; at which moment that a monarch employs one single agent or more, he falls with him, her or them into dependant parties of a disobedient aristocracy; dethroned by the serpent, for all social actions not general denies divine right.

The divine one has a divine interest democratically with all; while the interest of the civilian is partial and not the true interest of the whole, but the few.There is a greater love of the moralist in an own family and property than in others unless he has the divine love of all others. The moral one's business is never the impartial business of others; but with the equal divine business of all mankind; of that description the only one ever on earth, was the only true king of all kings, and whose divinity renders the only true liberty of all liberty. While his dominion of true millennium liberty, is completely unlimited; the dominion of a moral king cannot extend over more of his maker's soil, than comes within a direct use of his family, and the equal surplusses with the mean wealth of the common world. All civil dominion is rebellion because a fewfamilies with a royal family (so called) at the head, monopolize the other's rights and things, and which is always done really by blasphemy. When the son of a father shall have attained to a mature age, he feels moral action, and deserves independent freedom from his parental government, peaceably if he can, and forcibly if he must; for he is a regent of his divine king, he is no longer in the minority and king of flesh, for grandfathers may be civil kings, and have all. While a crown of equity can only reward the moral deeds of a good father, as a good son rewards him.

During the progressing population of the globe, all crooks and forms of pretended governments, really no government because without system they lead to war; they occur necessarily over the greater or smaller inha bited parts, having water, wilderness, vacant, impassable or arbitrary bounds, and called civil governments, but which are aristocracy, forming the different kingdoms, states, combinations and notions, wherein between the two extremes of freedom and bondage have ever fluctuated from individual interest and views, public wrong.
