"I lay down this maxime of Divinitie; Tyranny being a worke of Sathan, is not from God, because sinne either habituall or actuall, is not from God; the power that is, must be from God; the Magistrate as Magistrate, is good, in nature of office, and the intrinsecall end of his office, Rom. 13:4. for he is the Minister of God for thy good; and therefore a power ethicall, politick, or morall, to oppresse, is not from God, and is not a power, but a licentious deviation of a power, and is no more from God, but from sinfull nature, and the old serpent, then a license to sinne.
- Samuel Rutherford, Lex, Rex, or the Law and the Prince (1644) on the Puritan Hard Drive

"There is no other way to get such easy, convenient and inexpensive access to so many great works from the best Reformation and Puritan preachers and teachers, past and present -- and the study software on the Puritan Hard Drive is out of this world in terms of usefulness! Nothing like the Puritan Hard Drive has ever been available before! The Puritan Hard Drive is the must have digital learning device for Puritan and Reformed studies."

"If you want to understand Reformed theology (i.e., the whole counsel of God) the Puritan Hard Drive is unsurpassed, outside the Bible itself."

“ sermon error, but still relevant ” He sermon is scriptural until the end, disregarding scriptures, both old and new testaments where God authority regulates and does not abolish masters and slaves and their respective duties, among which are found in Ephesians, Colossians, Philemon, 2 Timothy,etc, thereby refuting that a higher law of God does not exist and selectively using only other scriptures and ignoring and wrongly dividing others.
However regarding We the People in the US constitution the error is found where a licensing liberty and now tyranny of licentiousness must be tolerated and upheld by all, contrary to God's law. The man of Sin is called the Lawless One, an antichrist of a false freedom and wicked liberty has now taken power, and it's government seat is plainly in the U.S. where it's government of the people, not God, has been erected, and is now beginning to persecute.

“ Amazing Sermon! ” Wow this might be the most thorough and clear sermon expounding difficult scripture about government and the ordinance and power of God. It is particularly interesting and relevant in our present history and presidential election season, though delivered in the 1800s.
