Excerpt from The Principles and Maxims on Which the Security and Happiness of a Republic Depend: A Sermon, Delivered Before the Governor, the Lieutenant-Governor, the Council, and the Two Houses Composing the Legislature of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, May 29, 1811, Being the Day of General Election

As example is more forcible than precept, we have selected this passage of sacred history to introduce our discourse. Even when such a sublime character is but briefly pictured out, the imperfect portrait is still adapt ed to fill the mind with generous and noble ideas. We shall take occasion from the language uttered by this great and good man, to point out the duties and max ims, necessary to be observed by a free people, if they wish to continue a pure republic - such I mean, as was referred to by Gideon in his answer to the people of Israel; that is, the Almighty governing a nation. Through the medium and instrumentality of its best and wisest citizens.
