Mankind Are Governed More By Their Feelings

He Who Made All Men Hath Made The Truths Necessary To Human Happiness Obvious To All. Our Forefathers Opened The Bible To All.

And That The Said Constitution Be Never Construed To Authorize Congress To Infringe The Just Liberty Of The Press, Or The Rights Of Conscience; Or To Prevent The People Of The United States, Who Are Peaceable Citizens, From Keeping Their Own Arms; Or To Raise Standing Armies, Unless Necessary For The Defense Of The United States, Or Of Some One Or More Of Them; Or To Prevent The People From Petitioning, In A Peaceable And Orderly Manner, The Federal Legislature, For A Redress Of Grievances; Or To Subject The People To Unreasonable Searches And Seizures Of Their Persons, Papers Or Possessions.

Before The Formation Of This Constitution It Had Been Affirmed As A Self Evident Truth, In The Declaration Of Independence, Very Deliberately Made By The Representatives Of The United States Of America In Congress Assembled That 'all Men Are Created Equal, And Are Endowed By Their Creator With Certain Unalienable Rights' This Declaration Of Independence Was Received And Ratified By All The States In The Union & Has Never Been Disannuled. May We Not From Hence Conclude, That The Doctrine Of Liberty And Equality Is An Article In The Political Creed Of The United States.

It Requires Time To Bring Honest Men To Think & Determine Alike Even In Important Matters. Mankind Are Governed More By Their Feelings Than By Reason.

Principally, And First Of All, I Resign My Soul To The Almighty Being Who Gave It, And My Body I Commit To The Dust, Relying On The Merits Of Jesus Christ For The Pardon Of My Sins.
