Man's Rights Are Evident Branches Of, Rather

Principally, And First Of All, I Resign My Soul To The Almighty Being Who Gave It, And My Body I Commit To The Dust, Relying On The Merits Of Jesus Christ For The Pardon Of My Sins.

In Short, It Is The Greatest Absurdity To Suppose It In The Power Of One, Or Any Number Of Men, At The Entering Into Society, To Renounce Their Essential Natural Rights, Or The Means Of Preserving Those Rights; When The Grand End Of Civil Government, From The Very Nature Of Its Institution, Is For The Support, Protection, And Defence Of Those Very Rights; The Principal Of Which, As Is Before Observed, Are Life, Liberty, And Property.

What A Man Has Honestly Acquired Is Absolutely His Own, Which He May Freely Give, But Cannot Be Taken From Him Without His Consent.

No People Ever Yet Groaned Under The Heavy Yoke Of Slavery, But When They Deserv'd It. ...the Truth Is, All Might Be Free If They Valued Freedom, And Defended It As They Ought. ...if Therefore A People Will Not Be Free; If They Have Not Virtue Enough To Maintain Their Liberty Against A Presumptuous Invader, They Deserve No Pity, And Are To Be Treated With Contempt And Ignominy.

He Therefore Is The Truest Friend To The Liberty Of His Country Who Tries Most To Promote Its Virtue, And Who, So Far As His Power And Influence Extend, Will Not Suffer A Man To Be Chosen Into Any Office Of Power And Trust Who Is Not A Wise And Virtuous Man.
