If Our Trade Be Taxed, Why Not

Driven From Every Other Corner Of The Earth, Freedom Of Thought And The Right Of Private Judgment In Matters Of Conscience Direct Their Course To This Happy Country As Their Last Asylum.

Among The Natural Rights Of The Colonists Are These: First A Right To Life, Secondly To Liberty, And Thirdly To Property; Together With The Right To Defend Them In The Best Manner They Can.

All Men Have A Right To Remain In A State Of Nature As Long As They Please; And In Case Of Intolerable Oppression, Civil Or Religious, To Leave The Society They Belong To, And Enter Into Another.

We May Look Up To Armies For Defence, But Virtue Is Our Best Security. It Is Not Possible That Any State Should Long Remain Free, Where Virtue Is Not Supremely Honord.

The Sum Of All Is, If We Would Most Truly Enjoy This Gift Of Heaven, Let Us Become A Virtuous People.
