A Sermon on Cruelty to Dumb Animals

And although abused dumb animals may not, literally speaking, rise in judgment against him; yet it should be remembered, that their Creator will take their cause in hand; on the consideration, that the abuse of any of God's works must originate, in an irreligious disregard of the God that made them. With persons who look not beyond the present world…they know that there is no court of justice here below in which actions of this nature are tried…for alas ! there is no human law to prevent such savage practices.

The spiritual man…considers the government of the creatures that has been committed to him, as a Trust…he therefore regardeth the life of his beast; abstaining from all manner of cruelty, on the reflection that his beast has a body to feel as sensibly as himself: and that delighting to render the life of his beast as easy and comfortable as may be, on the consideration that the same God, to whom he himself looketh for mercy, was the maker of them both.
