The Importance Of Moderation In Civil Rulers. A Sermon Delivered Before His Excellency E. Everett, Governor, The Honorable Council, And The Legislature Of Massachusetts, At The Annual Election, Etc by John Codman. This sermon, delivered January 1, 1840 to the Massachusetts governor and legislature, urges a calm, moderate approach to public affairs in the midst of political excitement. Codman cautions against extreme party spirit and advocates prudent, principled legislation that safeguards constitutional liberty and the common good. He emphasizes the responsibility of rulers to temper zeal with wisdom, to avoid reckless means, and to balance reform with stability. Drawing on Philippians 4:5, he reminds civil leaders of their accountability before God and man, urging forbearance, candor, and a steady regard for long-term welfare. The discourse also covers education, temperance, prison reform, and the preservation of the republic’s institutional foundations, while honoring the founders and the enduring value of liberty and the rule of law.
