For the right Faith is, that we believe and confes,
that thew fe is falible and infallibe,
Perfectly fallbe and perfectly inallble Of eEng foul,
ard an unerripg mind fulfilling
Falbe as touching her human nature ,and infable as

Who, although be fallible and infalble, yet he is
not two but ore woman,
Who fubmitted to lawful marriage, to acquire I'M
awful domaion, AID promifed regiouly to obey, that

This is the copjugal faith, which, except man be-

The HUSBANDS CREED.

TEYHOSOEVER will be married, before all things
wv it is necsGary that he hold the conjugal faFn;
Which faith, except every one do keep whole and I'M
defied, without doubt, he fhall be folded at eVer
ingy:
And the conjuga faith is this, that there were two
rational beings Created both equal yet hyperion to
the other
And the inferior fha rule over the hyperion.
The man is hyperion to the woman, and che woman
inferior to the man,
Yet both are equal, and the woman fhal govern the
man.
The woman is commanded to obey the man, and the
man, ought to obey the woman
And yet they two odedens, but one obedIent;
For there one dominion nominal ofthe huband and
another dominion real ofthe wife:
And yet there donlnons but one dominion,
Moreover AS compelled, by the chriftian verl-
ty, to acknowledge that wies mutt ubmit thenelves to
their hufbands and be fuhjea to them in all things;
So we forbidden, by the corjuga faith, to FAY they
ha be at all ihAenccdb by their wills, pay any regard
to their commands.
The man was not created for the woman but the wo.
man for the man, yet the fha be the fave of the
woman, and the woman the tyrant of the man:
So that as atoefa the Subsection othe Superior to the
inferior, is to be believed.
He therefore, that will be married, muf thus think of
the woman and the man.
Furthermore, it is neceiIary, to fubmfiive mamony,
that he alto believe the infaliblIty of the Wife;

bear hard OH the fubjea, and ZAP the founda
lions fGovernmenf, they are evidently coun-
ter 10 the end of their inHtiution. The ma
ture of laws is always accommodated to the
genius of people. Where the citizens have
no idea of the diRinefion between bondage
and freedom as in Turkey, Periia, and ionic
more polite nations, that is law, which other
Aates would dtjp;s. Yea, laws may vary in
the fame fate, in proportion to the rIie
or decay of virtue and freedom in II. BE
inffitu,ions of the XII Tables in The days of
the Roman republic were widely different
from the referipis Of Julian and iome other
Emperors. In tuch cafe. every man vPo
has a juff eiiima.ion Of men and things, Of
diffcssf. contributors and diae,en: politics,
and whole extenGye mind is capable, through
different periods, Of tracing fcciety back to
its original and analyGng the principles Of
Goverpment, win Judge in this manner.
He will give preference to thar era in which
its principles were noble and generous, and
its aefions correspondent to fuch principles,
and will fufpea it to be on decline when Il
fweIves heref1om, and will prophecy certain
ruin, infamy and contempt. The body Poli-
tic as well as the body natural, hss its irfan-
cy, its youth, its manhood and RS old age.
It is in its manhood when the foundations
nand Gecure, the laws are preierved IN their
original antGisffd, and the whole EXHIBITS a
model Of harmony and order. i will decline
howevcS fometimes, and intitutions WHICH
were once beautiful, will be weak and Ian
guild. II noy grows old, and like decaying
age, each member Of government, is exeried
in a liFeieIs, cold. impotent manner. But It
is generous principle nj egpfrandam pys
pat,ia. Virtue while there is fome remains
Of life may revive, and regain i: -qclcn; eo On
Rituiion.
Thefe Thought, naturally pIelen,ed 70 my
mind, when ran over the nature, the origin,
and the appearance Of our laws in diReren'
periods. In Tome times, the ancient tPirlt OF
the law H,urIfhed. AT others, Innovation
crept in snd thteatsned their diiolution.
There is nothing that appears 70 remarkably
sof this nature, as the doctrine Of libels: Ter
ri5le on foreign foek, they were ingrafted
On our confiiJo.ion in the reign OF a weak,
wicked prince, and the con(equences were
dreadful. They perifhs 4 in the reign Of ape
cecding monarch and now again revive
This brings me naturally in the order pro-
pofed, to confder thefe li5eIsf they are treat
