Royalty Is But A Feather In A

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.

Do Not Trust The Cheering, For Those Persons Would Shout As Much If You Or I Were Going To Be Hanged.

Your Pretended Fear Lest Error Should Step In, Is Like The Man That Would Keep All The Wine Out Of The Country Lest Men Should Be Drunk. It Will Be Found An Unjust And Unwise Jealousy, To Deny A Man The Liberty He Hath By Nature Upon A Supposition That He May Abuse It.

Does A Man Speak Foolishly?--suffer Him Gladly, For You Are Wise. Does He Speak Erroneously?--stop Such A Man's Mouth With Sound Words That Cannot Be Gainsaid. Does He Speak Truly?--rejoice In The Truth.

The People Would Be Just As Noisy If They Were Going To See Me Hanged.
