"As to the history of the revolution, my ideas may be peculiar, perhaps singular. What do we mean by the Revolution? The war? That was no part of the revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it.
The revolution was in the minds of the people, and this was effected from 17601775, in the course of fifteen years, before a drop of blood was shed at Lexington. "

It is the Happiness of his Church that, when the Powers of Earth and Hell combine against it...that the Throne of Grace is of the easiest access--and its Appeal thither is graciously invited by the Father of Mercies, who has assured it, that when his Children ask Bread he will not give them a Stone....... We Recognize No Sovereign but God and No King but Jesus
