Mr. Lely, I Desire You Would Use

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.

I Had Rather Have A Plain, Russet-coated Captain, That Knows What He Fights For, And Loves What He Knows, Than That Which You Call A Gentle-man And Is Nothing Else.

If Any Man Whatsoever Hath Carried On The Design Of Deposing The King And Disinheriting His Posterity; Or If Any Man Hath Yet Such A Design He Should Be The Greatest Traitor And Rebel In The World; But, Since The Providence Of God Hath Cast This Upon Us, I Cannot But Submit To Providence.

Men Have Been Led In Dark Paths, Through The Providence And Dispensation Of God. Why, Surely It Is Not To Be Objected To A Man, For Who Can Love To Walk In The Dark? But Providence Doth Often So Dispose.

Royalty Is But A Feather In A Man's Cap; Let Children Enjoy Their Rattle.
