Abstract
This paper describes the dramatic confrontation between an older Baptist preacher arrested for preaching without a license and a strong-willed sheriff doing his duty. Set in the Colonial period between 1768 and 1778, the confrontation was really between the state church in Virginia and those taking a stand for religious liberty.
