Christian Freemen — John Dickinson

Liberty Letters Quote of the Day, John Dickinson

Let us consider ourselves as MEN — FREEMEN — CHRISTIAN FREEMEN — separated from the rest of the world, and firmly bound together by the same rights, interests and dangers. Let these keep our attention inflexibly fixed on the GREAT OBJECTS, which we must CONTINUALLY REGARD, in order to preserve those rights, to promote those interests, and to avert those dangers. … The belief of these truths, I verily think, my countrymen, is indispensably necessary to your happiness. I beseech you, therefore, teach them diligently unto your children, and talk of them when you sit in your houses, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

Source: American Founder John Dickinson (1732-1808), Letters From a Farmer in Pennsylvania (1767-1768).  Thought inspired in part by Deuteronomy 6:7.
