We Cannot Go To Heaven In Featherbeds.

To Gold And Silver Nature Hath Given No Use That We May Not Well Lack.

. . . The State Of Things And The Dispositions Of Men Were Then Such, That A Man Could Not Well Tell Whom He Might Trust Or Whom He Might Fear.

Those Among Them That Have Not Received Our Religion Do Not Fright Any From It, And Use None Ill That Goes Over To It, So That All The While I Was There One Man Was Only Punished On This Occasion.

Instead Of Inflicting These Horrible Punishments, It Would Be Far More To The Point To Provide Everyone With Some Means Of Livelihood, So That Nobody's Under The Frightful Necessity Of Becoming, First A Thief, And Then A Corpse.

The Folly Of Men Has Enhanced The Value Of Gold And Silver Because Of Their Scarcity; Whereas, On The Contrary, It Is Their Opinion That Nature, As An Indulgent Parent, Has Freely Given Us All The Best Things In Great Abundance, Such As Water And Earth, But Has Laid Up And Hid From Us The Things That Are Vain And Useless.
