第 345 頁 - The better the worse. And if we could not assure people of an easy and free and safe government, both with respect to their spiritual and worldly property — that is, an uninterrupted liberty of conscience, and an inviolable possession of their civil rights and freedoms by a just and wise government — a mere wilderness would be no encouragement ; for it were...
