A man is accountable to no person for his doings.

Dew depends not on Parliament.

Now one of the most essential branches of English liberty, is the freedom of one's house. A man's house is his castle; and while he is quiet, he is as well guarded as a prince in his castle. This writ of assistance, if it should be declared legal, would totally annihilate this privilege.

I will to my dying day oppose with all the powers and faculties God has given me, all such instruments of slavery on the one hand, and villainy on the other, as this writ of assistance is.

An act against the Constitution is void; an act against natural equity is void.

A man is accountable to no person for his doings.

These manly sentiments, in private life, make the good citizen; in public life, the patriot and the hero.
