No. It was not wrong. These weren't mere individual citizens taking up arms against those in authority. Rather, these were magistrates standing up against a tyrannical king for the good of the people over whom they ruled/served. If there are two magistrates to whom you're accountable, and one is more just than the other, to whom do you submit? The answer is easy: the more just of the two.

God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry |
