Raw. Mr.. Forman, on behalf Of himself and
otherh, presented the following, which was Or
dered to 10 on the minutes:
We, the undersigued, respectfully protest
aRainst tho action OF the General Assembly IN
Adopting the paper Of DR.. Breckinridge on the
state OF the Church and the County.
We make this protest, not because We DO not
acknowledge loyalty to government 70 DC re.
lieious duty, nor because we deny the right OF
the Assembly to epjoin that, and all other like
duties, upon those under it's care. Indeed, the
Chur,h OF God is bound to teach all that is con-
tanned In the Scriptures, whether Of doctrine or
Of practice. Aud In view Of the present iondl-
tion Of public affairs, the Assembly should GER
tainly call attention TO, and epjoin the obserV-
ance of those precepts Of Gods word which set
forth the nature Of civil government, plainly
| teaching that il Is Of divine institution; which
inculcaIe the moral qualifications OF civil rulers
and the principles by which the Lord requires
them to be controlled in their official conduct ;
which epjoin upon private citizens, as religious
duties, respect and prayer for, aud obedience and
submission to, all who are In authority, and
waich lorbid resistance as u sin against Cod
But we protest because,
l. We deny the right Of the Assembly, 10 the
name and by the authority Of the Lord Christ,
