Doctrines of Passive Obedience and the Babylon Furnace
A dense polemic arguing that passive obedience and non resistance harmed liberty. It recounts Shadrach Meshach and Abednego as examples of rightful defiance against arbitrary royal commands, compares them to English bishops and ministers, and cites Nebuchadnezzar’s repentance. The piece critiques political theology shaping resistance and notes later London notices and publications.
