God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed it is the purest of human pleasures.
On the recollection of so many and great favours and blessings I now with a high sense of gratitude presume to offer up my sincere thanks to the Almighty the Creator and Preserver.
Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take but as for me give me liberty or give me death!
Before the throne of the Almighty man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.
