"Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's" [Matt. 22:21] is the scripture doctrine of courts, yet it is no support of monarchical government, for the Jews at that time were without a king, and in a state of vassalage to the Romans.
- Thomas Paine, Common Sense par. 5 (1776) at http://www.bartleby.com/133/2.html
