Public Spirit and Mobs: Two Sermons Delivered at Springfield, on Sunday, February (Classic Reprint)

And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and WEPT OVER IT, SAYING, If THOU HADST KNOWN, EVEN THOU, AT LEAST IN THIS THY DAY, THE THINGS WHICH BELONG UN- TO THY PEACE !B ut now they are hid from THINE EYES. Luke xix. 41, 42. I INTENDED this moming to preach with reference to the late disturbances among us ;but finding that there had unavoidably entered into my discourse much that was civic and municipal, and that it was a very painful and troublesome subject, I concluded to defer it to the afternoon, and to prepare our minds for that duty by something in which we could have greater religious enjoyment and repose. I propose therefore to you the text, on which I shall first have something to say of the person, of his act, and of the reason for it.
