Because I Fear God, I Have No

I Was By Birth A Gentleman, Living Neither In Any Considerable Height Nor Yet In Obscurity.

He Who Ceases To Be Better, Ceases To Be Good.

That Which Brought Me Into The Capacity I Now Stand In, Was The Petition And Advice Given Me By You, Who, In Reference To The Ancient Constitution, Did Draw Me Here To Accept The Place Of Protector. There Is Not A Man Living Can Say I Sought It, No Not A Man, Nor Woman, Treading Upon English Ground.

A Man Never Rises Higher Than When He Does Not Know Whither His Path Can Still Lead Him.

Men Have Been Led In Dark Paths, Through The Providence And Dispensation Of God. Why, Surely It Is Not To Be Objected To A Man, For Who Can Love To Walk In The Dark? But Providence Doth Often So Dispose.
