By Benjamin Hoadly

Book Overview

""The Measures of Submission to the Civil Magistrate: Considered in a Defense of the Doctrine"" is a book written by Benjamin Hoadly in 1718. The book is a defense of the doctrine of submission to the civil magistrate, which is the idea that individuals should obey the laws and authority of the government. Hoadly argues that this doctrine is supported by both reason and scripture, and that it is necessary for the preservation of society and the protection of individual rights. He also addresses common objections to the doctrine, such as the idea that it conflicts with religious or moral principles. The book is a significant work in the history of political philosophy and has been influential in debates about the relationship between government and individual liberty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
