Let the grand errand into America never be forgotten.

Our trade opens to all the world.

With the people, especially a people seized of property, resides the aggregate of original power.

The right of conscience and private judgment is unalienable, and it is truly the interest of all mankind to unite themselves into one body for the liberty, free exercise, and unmolested enjoyment of this right.

It gives me pleasure to find that public liberty is effectually secured in each and all the policies of the United States, though somewhat differently modeled.

A few scattered accounts, collected and combined together, may lead us to two certain conclusions: 1. That all the American Indians are one kind of people; 2. That they are the same as the people in the northeast of Asia.

All the forms of civil polity have been tried by mankind, except one, and that seems to have been reserved in Providence to be realized in America.
