FOOTNOTES:
[1] Says the Rev. Dr. Scott, in his Essay, p. 422: “We ought not therefore to fear our enemies because he will be with us, and if God be for us, who can be against us? Or who can doubt but he that is in us is greater than he that is in the world? This was typically intimated in the promises made to Israel respecting their wars with the Canaanites and other nations, which were shadows and figures of the good fight of faith.” Bishop Horne, in his preface to the Psalms, views the subject in the same light.
[2] All these objections introduced are carefully selected from some of the ablest advocates for the lawfulness of war.
[3] The last point American Christians will give up is the justification of their fathers in the War of the Revolution.
