I Observe There Is In Mr. Hooker

Think Of Your Child, Then, Not As Dead, But As Living; Not As A Flower That Has Withered, But As One That Is Transplanted, And Touched By A Divine Hand, Is Blooming In Richer Colors And Sweeter Shades Than Those Of Earth.

I Observe There Is In Mr. Hooker No Affected Language; But A Grave, Comprehensive, Clear Manifestation Of Reason, And That Backed With The Authority Of The Scriptures, The Fathers And Schoolmen, And With All Law Both Sacred And Civil.

To Live By One Man's Will Becomes The Cause Of All Misery.

For Men To Be Tied And Led By Authority, As It Were With A Kind Of Captivity Of Judgment, And Though There Be Reason To The Contrary Not To Listen Unto It, But To Follow Like Beasts The First In The Herd, They Know Not, Nor Care Not Whither, This Were Brutish.

So That Every Man Lawfully Ordained Must Bring A Bow Which Hath Two Strings, A Title Of Present Right And Another To Provide For Future Possibility Or Chance.
