[The military policy of Great Britain should be based on a navy]…

If vice and faction can be got the better of, this nation will again appear in her ancient lustre.

[Charles I] had too high a notion of the regal power and thought that every opposition to it was rebellion.

[Freedom of speech] is not only the natural privilege of liberty but also its support and preservation, every man therefore here is allowed to declare his sentiments openly, to speak or write whatever is not prohibited by the laws.

The pride, the glory of Britain, and the direct end of its constitution, is political liberty.

We may therefore infer from this long reign that this people will never refuse anything to a sovereign who they know will be the defender of their liberties.

Attempting with vigour to restore religion and virtue when I mount the throne, this great country will probably regain her ancient state of lustre.
