None But God
"Unlimited submission and obedience is due to none but God alone. He has as absolute right to command; he alone has an uncontrollable sovereignty over us, because he alone is unchangeably good. He never will nor can require of us, consistent with his nature and attributes, anything which is not fit and reasonable. His commands are all just and good. And to suppose that he has given to any particular set of men a power to require obedience to that which is unreasonable, cruel, and unjust, is robbing the Deity of his justice and goodness." —Samuel West, A.M., of Dartmouth; Mass. Election Sermon, 1776.
