THE EXTERNAL AFFAIRS OF A NATION IS A REFLECTION OF THE CONDITION OF THE HEARTS OF IT'S PEOPLE.
HISTORIAN-
CHARLES ROLLINS REFLECTS THE VIEW OF MOST EIGHTEENTH CENTURY WRITERS IN STATING THAT
GOD IS SOVEREIGN OVER HISTORY, BUT DEALS WITH NATIONS DEPENDANT UPON THE HEARTS AND ACTIONS OF THE PEOPLE .
HE WROTE- NOTHING GIVES HISTORY A GREATER SUPERIORITY TO MANY BRANCHES OF LITERATURE, THAN TO SEE IN A MANNER IMPRINTED, IN ALMOST EVERY PAGE OF IT, THE PRECIOUS FOOTSTEPS AND SHINNING PROOFS OF THIS GREAT TRUTH,
THAT GOD DISPOSES ALL EVENTS AS SUPREME LORD AND SOVEREIGN ; THAT HE ALONE DETERMINES THE FATE OF KINGS AND THE DURATION OF EMPIRES; AND THAT HE TRANSFERS THE GOVERNMENT OF KINGDOMS FROM ONE NATION TO ANOTHER BECAUSE OF THE UNRIGHTEOUS DEALINGS AND WICKEDNESS COMMITTED THEREIN.
