“It is so natural for us to consider our presence as indispensable in the world, so long as we have much to do in it, that the wisdom of retiring wholly from employments in advanced life may be questioned.

“I was by birth a gentleman, living neither in any considerable height, nor yet in obscurity. I have been called to several employments in the nation - to serve in parliaments, - and ( because I would not be over tedious ) I did endeavour to discharge the duty of an honest man in those services, to God, and his people's interest, and of the commonwealth; having, when time was, a competent acceptation in the hearts of men, and some evidence thereof.” PeopleMenHeartHas BeensNationsInterestHonestDutyBirthEvidenceEmploymentHeightGentlemanParliamentCompetentObscurityTediousHonest ManEndeavourCommonwealthDischargeService To God Book:Speeches, 1644-1658 Source: Speeches, 1644-1658
