The great Massachusetts clergyman was one of the most influential voices for the primacy of American religious institutions and an insistence upon the rule of law in the American colonies. Though he warns that "our sovereigns are, at best, but frail, weak creatures," Mayhew liked Prince Frederick, "a zealous promoter of liberal arts and ingenuous learning in the nation."
