Resolved, To Endeavor To Obtain For Myself

Love Is The Sum Of All Virtue, And Love Disposes Us To Good.

Of All The Knowledge That We Can Ever Obtain, The Knowledge Of God, And The Knowledge Of Ourselves, Are The Most Important.

Surely There Is Something In The Unruffled Calm Of Nature That Overawes Our Little Anxieties And Doubts; The Sight Of The Deep-blue Sky And The Clustering Stars Above Seems To Impart A Quiet To The Mind.

Among The Many Acts Of Gratitude We Owe To God, It May Be Accounted One To Study And Contemplate The Perfections And Beauties Of His Work Of Creation. Every New Discovery Must Necessarily Raise In Us A Fresh Sense Of The Greatness, Wisdom, And Power Of God.

Resolved, That I Will Do Whatsoever I Think To Be Most To God’s Glory, And My Own Good, Profit And Pleasure, In The Whole Of My Duration, Without Any Consideration Of The Time, Whether Now, Or Never So Many Myriad’s Of Ages Hence. Resolved To Do Whatever I Think To Be My Duty And Most For The Good And Advantage Of Mankind In General. Resolved To Do This, Whatever Difficulties I Meet With, How Many And How Great Soever.
