The People's Safety Is The Law Of

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.

Government Is Founded Not On Force, As Was The Theory Of Hobbes; Nor On Compact, As Was The Theory Of Locke And Of The Revolution Of 1688; Nor On Property, As Was The Assertion Of Harrington.

Now One Of The Most Essential Branches Of English Liberty, Is The Freedom Of One's House. A Man's House Is His Castle; And While He Is Quiet, He Is As Well Guarded As A Prince In His Castle. This Writ Of Assistance, If It Should Be Declared Legal, Would Totally Annihilate This Privilege.

Dew Depends Not On Parliament.

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