I Do Not Say That, When Brought

The People's Safety Is The Law Of God.

I Do Not Say That, When Brought To The Test, I Shall Be Invincible.

And I Take This Opportunity To Declare, That... I Will To My Dying Day Oppose With All The Powers And Faculties God Has Given Me, All Such Instruments Of Slavery On The One Hand, And Villainy On The Other, As This Writ Of Assistance Is. It Appears To Me The Worst Instrument Of Arbitrary Power, - The Most Destructive Of English Liberty And The Fundamental Principles Of Law, That Ever Was Found In An English Law Book.

The Supreme Power Cannot Take From Any Man Any Part Of His Property, Without His Consent In Person, Or By Representation.

The Colonists Are By The Law Of Nature Free-born, As Indeed All Man Are, White Or Black...it Is A Clear Truth That Those Who Every Day Barter Away Other Men's Liberty Will Soon Care Little For Their Own.
