Many Things Are Unknown To The Wisest,

Fruits Are Always Of The Same Nature With The Seeds And Roots From Which They Come, And Trees Are Known By The Fruits They Bear: As A Man Begets A Man, And A Beast A Beast, That Society Of Men Which Constitutes A Government Upon The Foundation Of Justice, Virtue, And The Common Good, Will Always Have Men To Promote Those Ends; And That Which Intends The Advancement Of One Man's Desire And Vanity, Will Abound In Those That Will Foment Them.

Everyone Sees They Cannot Well Live Asunder, Nor Many Together, Without Some Rule To Which All Must Submit.

[i]f Vice And Corruption Prevail, Liberty Cannot Subsist; But If Virtue Have The Advantage, Arbitrary Power Cannot Be Established.

[l]iberty Cannot Be Preserved, If The Manners Of The People Are Corrupted . . .

Laws And Constitutions Ought To Be Weighed... To Constitute That Which Is Most Conducing To The Establishment Of Justice And Liberty.
