"It is well that you have disbanded your armies, and that your
instruments of war have been made into plows and pruning hooks. Remember
the law that the nation and kingdom that will not serve the Lord shall
perish. The King grants to all His subjects their free agency in the
matter of religion, forcing no one to obey the gospel law; still He is
the King of the earth; it is His, and He made it, and has redeemed it;
and He now wills that all nations shall come under one government
organized by Him in righteousness. For a thousand years the earth must
rest in peace; then comes the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
"And now, another thing. There have been some complaints from your
country that the servants of the Lord who have been sent to preach the
gospel to your people, have not had that perfect freedom which is
desired. Please see to it that they are not molested while peaceably
promulgating religious doctrines."
"I shall see to it," answered the king of Poland.
For some time they counseled together; then the two withdrew, and joined
Paulus, who conducted them out into the city.
