Publisher's Synopsis
""How Superior Powers Ought To Be Obeyed By Their Subjects And Wherein They May Lawfully By God's Word Be Disobeyed And Resisted"" is a book written by Christopher Goodman. The book explores the relationship between rulers and their subjects, and how this relationship should be governed according to God's word. Goodman argues that rulers have a duty to act justly and in the best interest of their subjects, and that subjects have a duty to obey their rulers as long as they are acting in accordance with God's law. However, Goodman also argues that there are situations where disobedience and resistance may be justified if rulers are acting unjustly or contrary to God's law. The book is a theological and political treatise that examines the nature of power and authority, and the responsibilities that come with them. It is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in political philosophy and the relationship between rulers and their subjects.Wherein also is declared the cause of all this present misery in England, and the only way to remedy the same.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
