Freedom-Fighters Forum

I find written in a little volume: ‘Sweet is the name of liberty, but the thing itself has a value beyond all inestimable treasure!’ So much the more it behoveth us to take care lest we, contenting ourselves with the sweetness of the name, lose and forego the thing. . . . There is nothing so necessary for the preservation of a state asa free speech, and without it it is a scorn and mockery to call it a Parliament house, for in truth it is none, but a very school of flattery . . . and so a fit place to serve the devil and his angels in, and not to glorify God and benefit the commonwealth.
