To Be Innocent Is To

You Are Now Fixed At The Mercy Of No Governor That Comes To Make His Fortune Great; You Shall Be Governed By Laws Of Your Own Making And Live A Free, And If You Will, A Sober And Industrious Life. I Shall Not Usurp The Right Of Any, Or Oppress His Person. God Has Furnished Me With A Better Resolution And Has Given Me His Grace To Keep It.

Passion Is A Sort Of Fever In The Mind, Which Ever Leaves Us Weaker Than It Found Us.

For Death Is No More Than A Turning Of Us Over From Time To Eternity.

It Is A Severe Rebuke Upon Us, That God Makes Us So Many Allowances, And We Make So Few To Our Neighbour.

A Private Life Is To Be Preferrd; The Honour And Gain Of Publick Posts, Bearing No Proportion With The Comfort Of It.
