A General Dissolution Of Principles And Manners

I Firmly Believe That The Benevolent Creator Designed The Republican Form Of Government For Man.

We Have This Day Restored The Sovereign To Whom All Men Ought To Be Obedient. He Reigns In Heaven And From The Rising To The Setting Of The Sun, Let His Kingdom Come.

What Has Commonly Been Called Rebellion Has More Often Been Nothing But A Manly And Glorious Struggle In Opposition To The Lawless Power Of Rebellious Kings And Princes.

It Is Not Unfrequent To Hear Men Declaim Loudly Upon Liberty, Who, If We May Judge By The Whole Tenor Of Their Actions, Mean Nothing Else By It But Their Own Liberty, To Oppress Without Control Or The Restraint Of Laws All Who Are Poorer Or Weaker Than Themselves.

The Sum Of All Is, If We Would Most Truly Enjoy This Gift Of Heaven, Let Us Become A Virtuous People.
