Farewell count without a head

My legal wife is to me dead the only ecclesiastical authority I recognise pronounces me free the attacks and threats of men do not disturb me. I am acting according to a clear conscience, and am doing hurt to no man. For my conduct, I will answer to my maker.

In all things there must be order, but it must of such a kind as is possible to observe...to see a man burnt for doing as he thought right, harms the people, for this is a matter of conscience.

We may see how miraculously God defends our people, and makes us hope that, in spite of the malice of our enemies, He will bring our cause to a good and happy end, to the advancement of His glory and the deliverance of so many Christians from unjust oppression.

I am resolved, to go and plant myself in Holland or in Zeeland, and there await the issue which it shall please Him to ordain.

It is not possible for me to bear alone such labours and the burden of such weighty cares as press on me from hour to hour, without one man at my side to help me. I have not a soul to aid me in all my anxieties and toils.

I cannot approve of monarchs who want to rule over the conscience of the people, and take away their freedom of choice and religion.
