Jehovah who is God over all has ordained the two governments here on this earth: the spiritual,

which by the Holy Spirit under Christ makes The Israel of God and who are marked by showing

reverence for Jesus Christ and devotion to true devine worship by the Holy Spirit through His

people; and the secular, which restrains the unchristlike people and wicked so that they are

obliged to keep the peace outwardly, forceabily... The laws of worldly government extend no

farther than to personal existence called life and property and what is external upon earth. For

over the soul God can and will let no one rule but himself. Therefore, where temporal power

presumes to prescribe laws for the soul, it encroaches upon God’s government and only

misleads and destroys souls into eterenty. We here. the Church Jesus Christ desire to make

this so clear that every one shall grasp it, and that the teachers, preachers and bishops may

see what fools they are when they seek to coerce the people with their laws and

commandments into believing one thing or another.
