A Discourse Concerning Unlimited Submission And Nonresistance To The Higher Powers is a religious and political treatise written by Jonathan Mayhew in 1750. The book argues against the idea of absolute obedience to political authority and promotes the idea of resistance to unjust rulers. Mayhew uses biblical references to support his argument and argues that rulers who act unjustly are not legitimate authorities. The book was written at a time when the British government was asserting its authority over the American colonies, and it had a significant influence on the American Revolution. The book is considered a classic of American political thought and an important contribution to the development of democratic principles.With Some Reflections On The Resistance Made To King Charles I And On The Anniversary Of His Death: In Which The Mysterious Doctrine Of That Princes Saintship And Martyrdom Is Unriddled: The Substance Of Which Was Delivered In A Sermon Preached In The West Meeting-House In Boston The Lords-Day After The 30th Of January, 1749/50.: Published At The Request Of The Hearers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
