To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Still, and nevertheless, I oppose them; and I would do so, though they were the dearest friends on earth. Though they were Christians, as holy as the apostles, I would do so; as Paul "withstood Peter to the face;" and for the same reason, — "because they are to be blamed. " But, though I think them wrong, and to be blamed, and to be resisted, yet is it right, one may say, to resist them in this manner ? Since they desired to separate from us, why should we not have yielded to them, and have sai...d, " Go in peace ? " I answer, that to have done so would have been to strike at the roots of all civil gov- ernment. All lawful sovereignty, all political order, any such thing as nationality, would be impossible upon this principle. But let us consider first, the question of war in gen- eral, and then, the question of this particular war. The sadness and horror I feel at this war, drive me upon con- sidering what place war has in the world, — what place in the providence of God, — what place in the duties of men.
