PATTON PRINCETON'S ABLE AND INSPIRING DEFENDER OF THE CALVINISTIC FAITH THESE PAGES ARE GRATEFULLY INSCRIBED PREFACE In the following pages is presented a general survey of the subject of authority. The author has gone afield to bring out authority's func- tion in life with special reference legalism into ethics and rehgion. Law brooks no interfer- ence. Though God's law needs no vindication by the evidence of impending penalties and re- wards, its vindication is written upon the heart of man with unmistakable anticipations. Hu- man law and prevailing custom require con- formity force. This conformity,by outward however, pre-supposes at least the capacity, and the law aims at a willingness of the individual to follow its prescribed course or rule. This is done on authority, in faith. We believe in the thing prescribed, reconmiended, enjoined.
