Have a care over my people. You have my people--do you that which I ought to do. They are my people.... See unto them--see unto them, for they are my charge.... I care not for myself; my life is not dear to me. My care is for my people. I pray God, whoever succeedeth me, be as careful of them as I am.
Elizabeth ILet the good service of well-deservers be never rewarded with loss. Let their thanks be such as may encourage more strivers for the like.
