Work Hard, Trust In God, And Keep

The State, In Choosing Men To Serve It, Takes No Notice Of Their Opinions. If They Be Willing Faithfully To Serve It, That Satisfies.

I Was By Birth A Gentleman, Living Neither In Any Considerable Height, Nor Yet In Obscurity. I Have Been Called To Several Employments In The Nation - To Serve In Parliaments, - And ( Because I Would Not Be Over Tedious ) I Did Endeavour To Discharge The Duty Of An Honest Man In Those Services, To God, And His People's Interest, And Of The Commonwealth; Having, When Time Was, A Competent Acceptation In The Hearts Of Men, And Some Evidence Thereof.

Sir, What Can Be Said Of These Things? Is It The Arm Of The Flesh That Hath Done These Things? Is It The Wisdom And Counsel, Or Strength Of Man? It Is The Lord Only. God Will Curse That Man And His House That Dares To Think Otherwise. Sir, You See The Work Is Done By A Divine Leading. God Gets Into The Hearts Of Men, And Persuades Them To Come Under You.

It's A Blessed Thing To Die Daily. For What Is There In This World To Be Accounted Of! The Best Men According To The Flesh, And Things, Are Lighter Than Vanity. I Find This Only Good, To Love The Lord And His Poor Despised People, To Do For Them And To Be Ready To Suffer With Them....and He That Is Found Worthy Of This Hath Obtained Great Favour From The Lord; And He That Is Established In This Shall ( Being Conformed To Christ And The Rest Of The Body) Participate In The Glory Of A Resurrection Which Will Answer All.

Work Hard, Trust In God, And Keep Your Bowels Open.
