“But almighty God (by his divine providence) had mollified the hearts of those stern barbarians with compassion” (40).
“And what hathe ever been the work of the greatest princes of the earth, but planting of countries, and civilizing barbarous and inhuman nations to civility and humanity?”
“Here every man may be a master of his own labor and land… and if he have nothing but his hands, he may set up his trade; amd by industry quickly grow rich.”
