On Becoming Soldiers We Have Not Ceased

Royalty Is But A Feather In A Man's Cap; Let Children Enjoy Their Rattle.

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.

My Prayer Is That God Give Me No Longer Life Than I Shall Be Glad To Use Mine Office In Edification, And Not In Destruction.

I Would Have Been Glad To Have Lived Under My Wood Side, And To Have Kept A Flock Of Sheep, Rather Than To Have Undertaken This Government.

I Have Learned That If You Fear God, You Have No One Else To Fear.
