“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
