4 8 | bur the eternal reason of God, the Creator and Ruler of
5 8 | action and restraint of evil God has vouchsafed to give special
6 10| that the eternal law of God is the sole standard and
7 11| other than the authority of God, commanding good and forbidding
8 11| this most just authority of God over men diminishing, or
9 11| human liberty must aspire is God.~
10 12| bringing man nearer to God, they make him at once the
11 13| men. Lawful power is from God, "and whosoever resisteth
12 13| resisteth the ordinance of God' ;6 wherefore, obedience
13 13| or to some ordinance of God, obedience is unlawful,
14 13| we become disobedient to God. Thus, an effectual barrier
15 15| obedience to the commands of God, and substitutes a boundless
16 15| society, on the one hand, and God the Creator and consequently
17 16| to tyranny. The empire of God over man and civil society
18 17| being is bound by no law of God except such as He makes
19 17| man is under the power of God, and tends toward Him as
20 17| the nature and extent of God's rights and its own duties,
21 17| authority and providence of God. Man must, therefore, take
22 17| one of those laws which God, in His infinite wisdom
23 17| embody the government of God, who graciously guides and
24 17| right reason itself-let God be dutifully and obediently
25 18| affairs the commands of God may be passed over, and
26 18| according to the laws of God. For, since God is the source
27 18| laws of God. For, since God is the source of all goodness
28 18| than the laws which have God for their author; and, therefore,
29 18| the most wise ordinance of God, there must necessarily

32 20| those things which lead to God as man's supreme and ultimate
33 20| practice that one which God enjoins, and which men can
34 21| should offer any homage to God, or should desire any public
35 21| State has no duties toward God, or that such duties, if
36 21| but that, by the will of God, men are united in civil
37 21| which it renders to man. God it is who has made man for
38 21| society must acknowledge God as its Founder and Parent,
39 22| all power directly from God Himself, with grave authority
40 22| as to the ministers of God; and it binds them to their
41 23| matter of opinion which God leaves to man's free discussion,
42 26| treasure of the truths which God Himself has taught us. By
43 26| things have been revealed by God; that the onlybegotten Son
44 26| the onlybegotten Son of God was made flesh, to bear

47 27| the teaching of morality, God Himself made the Church
48 27| mission entrusted to her by God; unconquered by the difficulties

50 30| as he chooses, worship God or not, it is sufficiently
51 30| State may follow the will of God and, from a consciousness
52 30| liberty worthy of the sons of God, which nobly maintains the
53 30| and most just dominion of God over man, and to the chief
54 30| supreme duty of man toward God. It has nothing in common
55 30| accordance with the authority of God, and is within the measure
56 30| variance with the will of God, there is a wide departure
57 31| altogether independently of God, the liberty of which We
58 33| preserving some greater good. God Himself in His providence,
59 33| must endeavor to imitate God, who, as St. Thomas teaches,
60 34| duty assigned to her by God of providing for the eternal
61 36| and everenduring power of God; and that, as a consequence,
62 36| consists in submission to God and in subjection to His
63 36| existence of this authority in God, or to refuse to submit
64 36| obedience which is due to God or to those who share the
65 37| the supreme authority to God, and to cast off all obedience
66 38| the duty of submitting to God, the Creator and Ruler of
67 38| revealed by the authority of God; or who at least impudently
68 40| to subject the Church of God to the empire and sway of

70 42| lawful to refuse obedience to God, and there would be no restraint
