A Man-of-war Is The Best Ambassador.

I Desire Not To Keep My Place In This Government An Hour Longer Than I May Preserve England In Its Just Rights, And May Protect The People Of God In Such A Just Liberty Of Their Consciences.

Work Hard, Trust In God, And Keep Your Bowels Open.

If Any Man Whatsoever Hath Carried On The Design Of Deposing The King And Disinheriting His Posterity; Or If Any Man Hath Yet Such A Design He Should Be The Greatest Traitor And Rebel In The World; But, Since The Providence Of God Hath Cast This Upon Us, I Cannot But Submit To Providence.

We Study The Glory Of God, And The Honour And Liberty Of Parliament, For Which We Unanimously Fight, Without Seeking Our Own Interests... I Profess I Could Never Satisfy Myself On The Justness Of This War, But From The Authority Of The Parliament To Maintain Itself In Its Rights; And In This Cause I Hope To Prove Myself An Honest Man And Single-hearted.

I Had Rather Have A Plain, Russet-coated Captain, That Knows What He Fights For, And Loves What He Knows, Than That Which You Call A Gentle-man And Is Nothing Else.
