John Milton
I must not quarrel with the will Of highest dispensation, which herein, Haply had ends above my reach to know.

This is the month, and this the happy morn, wherein the Son of heaven's eternal King, of wedded Maid and Virgin Mother born, our great redemption from above did bring.

Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.
John Milton
Law can discover sin, but not remove, Save by those shadowy expiations weak.
