We are Englishmen; that is one good fact

A few honest men are better than numbers.

God made them as stubble to our swords.

If the remonstrance had been rejected I would have sold all I had the next morning and never have seen England more, and I know there are many other modest men of the same resolution.

I had rather have a plain, russet-coated Captain, that knows what he fights for, and loves what he knows, than that you call a Gentleman and is nothing else.

The State, in choosing men to serve it, takes no notice of their opinions; if they be willing faithfully to serve it – that satisfies. I advised you formerly to bear with men of different minds from yourself.

Truly England and the church of God hath had a great favour from the Lord, in this great victory given us.
