Plowd. II. II. App. p. 176 Our principal rule of conduct has been
"to attend to those, things in which we agree, to exclude from
"owe thoughts those in which we differ. We agree in knowing
" what we owe right, and in daring to assert them.
"if the rights of men be duties to God, we are in this respect
"of one religion. Our creed of civil faith is the same, we
"agree in thinking, that there is not an individual among
"our millions, whose happiness can be established
"on any foundation so rational and so solid, as on the
"happiness of the whole community, We agree therefore
"in the necessity of giving political value and station
"to the great majority of the people; and we think,
"that whosoever desired an amended constitution, with
"including the great body of the people must on his
"principles be convicted of political persecutions, and
"political monopoly. If the present electors be
"themselves a morbid party of our constitution,
"where are we to recur for redress, but to the whole
"community? "A more unjust and absurd constitution
"can not be devised than that, which condemns
"the natives of a country to perpetual servitudes under
"the arbitrary dominion of strangers and slaves."
"We agree in thinking, that the first and most indispensable
