Let Men Be Good, And The Government

Government Seems To Me To Be A Part Of Religion Itself - A Thing Sacred In Its Institutions And Ends.

Kings In This World Should Imitate God, Their Mercy Should Be Above Their Works.

It Is Certain That The Most Natural And Human Government Is That Of Consent, For That Binds Freely, ... When Men Hold Their Liberty By True Obedience To Rules Of Their Own Making.

For As Men In Battle Are Continually In The Way Of Shot, So We, In This World, Are Ever Within The Reach Of Temptation.

Death Is But Crossing The World, As Friends Do The Seas; They Live In One Another Still.
