Government and Liberty by Isaac Backus

As the affairs of Government and Liberty, are the greatest points of controversy, now in the world, it certainly is of great importance, that our ideas be clear and just concerning them. Permit me therefore to offer a few thoughts, upon a familiar metaphor, which the holy Ghost has used to illustrate their true nature. In Amos, 5:24. he says, “Let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.”
