Such use of the streets and public places has, from ancient times, been a part of the privileges, immunities, rights, liberties of citizens.

We must call to mind how He can create food for His people out of nothing, and supply the needs of those who follow Him, even in the wilderness. And as we think these thoughts, we must remember that this Jesus still lives, never changes, and is on our side. — J.C. Ryle
