The Magistrate's Portrait - sermon 1656

Preached in a sermonat Stowe-Market in Suffolk, upon August, the 20. 1656. before the Election of Parliament-men for the same County.
"Let us bless God for a government, even though it should be none of the best. It is a very bad government indeed, that is worse then none at all. Where there is a Magistracy some may be oppressed and wronged under it, but none can be righted where there is none."
