[m]en Will Be Free No

Give Credit To Whom Credit Due.

I Would Advise Persisting In Our Struggle For Liberty, Though It Were Revealed From Heaven That Nine Hundred And Ninety-nine Men Were To Perish, And Only One Of A Thousand To Survive And Retain His Liberty. One Such Freeman Must Possess More Virtue, And Enjoy More Happiness, Than A Thousand Slaves.

The Right To Freedom Is The Gift Of God Almighty....the Rights Of The Colonists As Christians May Be Best Understood By Reading, And Carefully Studying The Institutes Of The Great Lawgiver And Head Of The Christian Church: Which Are To Be Found Clearly Written And Promuligated In The New Testament.

Our Contest Is Not Only Whether We Ourselves Shall Be Free, But Whether There Shall Be Left To Mankind An Asylum On Earth For Civil And Religious Liberty.

Could I Be Assured That America Would Remain Virtuous, I Would Venture To Defy The Utmost Efforts Of Enemies To Subjugate Her.
