Our Swords Are In God's Hands, And

I Would Have Been Glad To Have Lived Under My Wood Side, And To Have Kept A Flock Of Sheep, Rather Than To Have Undertaken This Government.

Ye May Have Skill In The Nature Of Things, Yet Nature Can Do More Than All Physicians Put Together; And God Is Far More Above Nature.

I Desire Not To Keep My Place In This Government An Hour Longer Than I May Preserve England In Its Just Rights, And May Protect The People Of God In Such A Just Liberty Of Their Consciences.

We Study The Glory Of God, And The Honour And Liberty Of Parliament, For Which We Unanimously Fight, Without Seeking Our Own Interests... I Profess I Could Never Satisfy Myself On The Justness Of This War, But From The Authority Of The Parliament To Maintain Itself In Its Rights; And In This Cause I Hope To Prove Myself An Honest Man And Single-hearted.

The State, In Choosing Men To Serve It, Takes No Notice Of Their Opinions. If They Be Willing Faithfully To Serve It, That Satisfies.
