THE BIBLE AND POLITICS:

OR, AN HUMBLE PLEA FOR

Equal, Perfect, Absolute Beligions Freedom,

AND AGAINST ALL

SECTARIANISM IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

BY REV. W. A. SCOTT, D. D.

"You, Oh Athenians, I embrace and love, but I will obey God rather than you."
[Socrates' Dying Speech.]

Posteri, Posteri, vestra res agitur, -

Advortite.

Posterity, posterity, this is a concern of yours,

Be attentive.

From an inscription on the road from Naples to Vesuvius, warning the people to beware
eruptions.]

"The magistrate is not to meddle with religion, or matters of conscience, nor compel men to
this or that form of religion, because Christ is the King and lawgiver of the Church and
Conscience."-The Baptist Confession of Faith of 1611, the very same year in which our present
English version of the Bible was given to the world.]
