They also took one of our Pilot Boats coming up, John Ayres, who they used very ill, stripping him, taking the Sails from his Boat, and every Thing else they thought of any Value.

NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. [1747
The Day after they took Capt. Hutchinson, they 1 chased a Schooner ashore near Egg-harbour, which they set fire to, the Men escaping on shore: While she was burning, they came to an Anchor within Hutchinson's Sloop, and were going to strip her, and burn her also, but a Brig appearing in Sight, they left her at Anchor, and gave Chase to the Brig, who was bound in here, and who having the Heels of 'em escaped ; after four Hours Chase, they stood in again for the Sloop ; but found she was gone, and Capt. Hutchinson hopes the People who escaped from the Schooner have carried her off Soon after they fell in with a poor Cape-May Man, laden with Shingles, which they took, and gave to 25 of the Prisoners, with scarce any Provisions on board; but they happily meet- ting a Sloop from Maryland, were by her relieved, and brought in here, as above :- By them we are in- formed, that just before they came in, they spoke with an Egg-harbour-Man, who told them, she had been chased and fired at a little to the Eastward of Sandy-Hook, off Long Island, by a large Ship and a Snow, but she returning into Shoal Water escaped.

Mr. De Forest :
Hoping the following Lines will be of some benefit to the Public. I desire you will give it a Place in your next Paper.
from your
humble Servant, Layman.
I THINK it necessary at present to speak a few Words on the first seven Verses of the 13th Chapter of Paul to the Romans. St. Paul's Words in these seven Verses, are so very plain, and conspic- uous that they need but little Explanation. I shall a little open the first Verse, and the rest I hope will be clearly understood.
Ist. Verse, Let every Soul be subject to the higher Powers, for there is no power but of GOD. The powers
376
NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. [1747
that be are Ordained of GOD. This Text divides itself into three parts.
Ist, That it's every Christians Duty to be sub- ject to the higher Powers; that is, to the present temporal Authority, or the Laws of our Country that are now in force.
2dly, For there is no Power but of GOD. That is, all temporal Government that is established in any Country, is of GOD, tho' its done and acted by Men, yet it's by GOD's Permission and Appointment.
3dly, The powers that be, or the present powers are Ordained of GOD. A Question may be asked by some, who does the Apostle mean, by the Powers that be? The Answer is easie and plain; the then pres- ent Roman Emperor Nero, who had the supreme Government in his Hands at that time even of the greatest part of the World, to whom the Jews then paid Tribute : Our Saviour paid Tribute to Cesar, and as he gave us an Example himself, Paul's Ex- hortation may well have the greater force.
By this we may plainly see that we are not to Dispute, how the supreme Magistrate came by his Power, or whether he has a lawful Right or not ; but whoever has got the Government in their Hands, it immediately becomes our duty to be subject; that is, in all things that are not contrary to our duty to GOD: And there we may say, we ought to obey GOD rather than Man.
2d. Verse, Whosoever therefore resisteth the Power resisteth the Ordinance of GOD, and they that resist, shall receive to themselves Damnation.
By this it is evidently clear that whosoever resist-
377
1747] NEWSPAPER EXTRACTS.
eth any Officer, even the lowest Officer, that comes lawfully in the Kings or supreme Magistrates Name and Authority ; resisteth the Ordinance of GOD, and they that resist shall receive to themselves Damnation.
3. For Rulers are not a terror to good Works, but to the evil, wilt thou then not be afraid of the Power ? Do that which is good; and thou shall have praise of the same.
4. For he is the Minister of Got to thee for good ; but if thou do that which is evil, be afraid ; for he beareth not the Sword in vain; for he is the Minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doth evil.
5. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath but for Conscience sake.
6. For this Cause pay you tribute also ; for they are God's Ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
7. Render therefore to all their dues, tribute to whom tribute is due, custom to whom custom, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour.
Now let us see what St. Peter says in this Case, see 1. Pet. 2. 13 & 14 Submit your selves to every ordinance of Man, for the Lords sake : Whether it be to the King as supreme ; or unto Governours, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evil- doers, and for the praise of them that do well.
Now beloved Brethern, seeing the resisting of the powers that be, that is, the present Government that we live under, is so great a Sin ; what shall we think of those who live under the best and mildest Govern-
378
NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. . [1747
ment in the World, who have been always protected in their Lawful Rights and priviledges, according to the known good Laws of the Land and Nation to which they belong : And only because they can't have a litigious Case tried just according to their own humour and their own will, be it right or wrong, pre- tending they can't have it tried at Home, when it ap- pears plain to the contrary, (a sure Sign they are doubtful of the Merits of their Cause) will rise up in Rebellion against the powers that be, by raising of Mobs, become Guilty of Riots, beating the Officers of the present Government when they are upon their lawful Duty, breaking open Jayls, setting Fellows at liberty, gathering in great Numbers with Clubs, beat- ing down all that oppose them, turning poor People out of their Possessions, and stand in Defiance of all Laws and Government, trusting to their great Numbers to protect them in all their Villany.
At the same time many of them pretend to be pious Christians : But the worst of all is, they still go on and justifie themselves in all this, as if they were guilty of no Sin at all, but glory in what they have done And by all appearance their Ministers and Teachers approve of all they do, and incourage them to go on in those wicked proceedings, otherwise why don't we hear them condemning their practice in every Sermon they Preach, which I never heard they have done to this Day. For my own part, I live at a dis- tance and have no concern with the one side or the other, but 'am grieved to see such Numbers of People running into such folly and madness. For if People will not consider, and stop in such evil ways,
379

it's to be feared it will bring a Judgment upon the Land.
Let Men but open their Eyes : that is sincerely de- sire GOD to open them, and they may see that they are even now on the very brink of danger on all sides. How inconsistent these things are to the Spirit and principles of Christianity, I'll leave to themselves, but more particularly to their Pastors to consider.
I accuse no particulars, if there be any that find the Coat does fit them they are wellcome to wear it.
(The sad Consequences of these Things ought next to be considered.)-The New- York Evening Post, August 3, 1747.
Mr. De Forest,
Observing in your last Paper a false and invidious Accusation against the Ministers in New Jersey, as Approvers and Encouragers of the Riots that have obtained in that Province, and as never having con- demn'd the Practice of the Rioters to this Day : By which the Author's Representations of himself, as living distant from us appears credible. For had he been among us he must have known that our Minis- try did solemnly admonish those Rioters from their Pulpits of the Sin and Danger of their Practices even in the very beginning of those Disturbances. That one of the Ministers did at the Court Lecture the very first Term after those Riots began particularly explain the Duty of subjection to the magistracy God has placed over us and how very provoking to Heaven their riotous Behaviour was. That another of the Ministers took pains to ride some considerable Dis-
