Give Credit To Whom Credit Due.

I ... [rely] Upon The Merits Of Jesus Christ For A Pardon Of All My Sins.

The Sum Of All Is, If We Would Most Truly Enjoy The Gift Of Heaven, Let Us Become A Virtuous People; Then Shall We Both Deserve And Enjoy It. While On The Other Hand, If We Are Universally Vicious And Debauched In Our Manners, Though The Form Of Our Constitution Carries The Face Of The Most Exalted Freedom, We Shall In Reality Be The Most Abject Slaves.

I Thank God That I Have Lived To See My Country Independent And Free. She May Long Enjoy Her Independence And Freedom If She Will. It Depends On Her Virtue.

The Sum Of All Is, If We Would Most Truly Enjoy This Gift Of Heaven, Let Us Become A Virtuous People.

A General Dissolution Of Principles And Manners Will More Surely Overthrow The Liberties Of America Than The Whole Force Of The Common Enemy. While The People Are Virtuous They Cannot Be Subdued; But When Once They Lose Their Virtue Then Will Be Ready To Surrender Their Liberties To The First External Or Internal Invader.
