Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mr. Allen's Speech on Ministers Leaving a Moral Kingdom to Bear Testimony Against Sin: Liberty in Danger, From the Publication of Its Principles; The Constitution a Shield for Slavery; And the Union Better Than Freedom and Righteousness What thought our political fathers on this subject? To this question they give no vague reply. Let me cite a passage from the prologue to that drama of which I have just spoken. It was uttered by that provincial Congress of which John Hancock was President, Benjamin Lincoln, Secretary, and Samuel Adams and Joseph Hawley were master-spirits. In their session at Cambridge, December 6, 1774, but a few months before the first blood of the Revolution was spilt, they addressed, by special proclamation, the ministers of the colony of Massachusetts in these words: In a day like this, when all the friends of civil and religious liberty are exerting themselves to deliver this country from its present calamities, we cannot but place great hope in an order of men who have ever distinguished themselves in their country's cause; and do therefore recommend to the ministers of the gospel in the several towns and other places in this colony, that they as sist us in avoiding that dreadful slavery with which we are now threatened.
