When I speak of
the Christian religion as the basis of government, I do no mean an ecclesiastical
establishment, a creed, or rites, forms, and ceremonies, or any compulsion of
conscience. I mean primitive
Christianity in its simplicity as taught by Christ and His apostles, consisting
in belief in the being, perfections and moral government of God; in the
revelation of His will to men, as their supreme rule of action; in man’s
accountability to God for his conduct in life; and in the indispensable
obligation of all men to yield entire obedience to God’s commands in the moral
law and in the Gospel.
