A Springfield, Massachusetts minister, Peabody addresses his sermon to three ideas: a.) those who are born free should learn the worth of freedom b.) they should understand their responsibility to God and c.) those who are instruments of the State should do their utmost to affect the public welfare. The devil-in-the-details of Peabody's first goal is evident with this passage: "Those who are born in a land of liberty, regard freedom as a very simple thing. It seems to them the easiest suggestion of nature, the first dictate of a nation's heart: and yet, in practice, we see, that so far from being a simple attainment, it is the very last result at which civil experience arrives.
