Franchise," or the office of a ruler, or legislator.

[277] In order to direct attention to the duties of civil society
favoured with the word of God, especially to the obligations of the
members of every community existing under an immoral and unscriptural
civil constitution, we beg leave to refer, in addition to the
"Mediatorial Dominion," before noticed, to the "Claims of the Divine
Government applied to the British Constitution, and the use of the
Elective Franchise." Thomas Neilson, and Charles Zeigler, Edinburgh; and
John Keith, and William Marshall, Glasgow--1843.--A pamphlet, the
argument of which from Scripture is clearly and powerfully brought out;
and the perusal of which is earnestly recommended, particularly to all
who love the prosperity of their country, and cherish the desire that
all ranks within it would perceive duty incumbent upon them, and be led
to the advantages and true honour arising from performing it, especially
in a day when civil power is put forth to cherish various ungodly
systems, to extend the dominion, not merely of prelacy, but of popery
under its darkest aspects, and to rob the true Church of the
blood-bought privileges bestowed upon her by her Lord.
