Analyze the passage below from john winthrop, "speech to the massachusetts general court" (july 3, 1645). the great questions that have troubled the country, are about the authority of the magistrates and the liberty of the people. … concerning liberty, i observe a great mistake in the country about that. there is a twofold liberty, natural (i mean as our nature is now corrupt) and civil or federal. the first is common to man with beasts and other creatures. by this, man, as he stands in relation to man simply, hath liberty to do what he lists; it is a liberty to do evil as well as to [do] good. this liberty is incompatible and inconsistent with authority, and cannot endure the least restraint of the most just authority. the exercise and maintaining of this liberty makes men grow more evil, and in time to be worse than brute beasts. … this is that great enemy of truth and peace, that wild beast, which all the ordinances of god are bent against, to restrain and subdue it. why does winthrop consider "natural" liberty dangerous?
