It Is In The Interest Of Tyrants

The Sum Of All Is, If We Would Most Truly Enjoy The Gift Of Heaven, Let Us Become A Virtuous People; Then Shall We Both Deserve And Enjoy It. While On The Other Hand, If We Are Universally Vicious And Debauched In Our Manners, Though The Form Of Our Constitution Carries The Face Of The Most Exalted Freedom, We Shall In Reality Be The Most Abject Slaves.

We Cannot Make Events. Our Business Is Wisely To Improve Them.

I ... [rely] Upon The Merits Of Jesus Christ For A Pardon Of All My Sins.

It Is Therefore Recommended... To Set Apart Thursday The Eighteenth Day Of December Next, For Solemn Thanksgiving And Praise, That With One Heart And One Voice The Good People May Express The Grateful Feelings Of Their Hearts And Consecrate Themselves To The Service Of Their Divine Benefactor.
