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.

Make The Iron Hot By Striking It.

Mr. Lely, I Desire You Would Use All Your Skill To Paint My Picture Truly Like Me, And Not Flatter Me At All; But Remark All These Roughnesses, Pimples, Warts, And Everything As You See Me, Otherwise I Will Never Pay A Farthing For It.

There Are Some Things In This Establishment That Are Fundamental... About Which I Shall Deal Plainly With You... The Government By A Single Person And A Parliament Is A Fundamental... And... Though I May Seem To Plead For Myself, Yet I Do Not: No, Nor Can Any Reasonable Man Say It... I Plead For This Nation, And All The Honest Men Therein.

For That Which You Mention Concerning Liberty Of Conscience, I Meddle Not With Any Man's Conscience.

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.
