"Do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God;" that is the whole duty of man everything is included in that. Do you hear it, oh! ye temporizers with Divine law? Do you hear it, ye who say that we must come down partly, and be a little like the world in order to win it? that you must come on to the level of the ungodly in order that you may win them to God?
The motion on which these men and the Unionists made their last stand together went against them 164 to 133. Then at last came the square question: Shall we secede? Even on this question, the minority was dangerously large.

There must and will be a reform; it has become a public necessity. Temporizers are proverbially short-sighted.

Ambitious and selfish men are left to go blindly on and fall into their own pit.
Though this set of temporizers were bitterly upbraided both by the nonjurors and the papists, they all concurred in representing William as an enemy to the church; as a prince educated in the doctrines of Calvin, which he plainly espoused, by limiting his favour and preferment to such as were latitudinarians in religion, and by his abolishing episcopacy in Scotland.
No man knows better the danger of alcohol than the man who is addicted to its use until he gets to that besotted stage where his brain is so befuddled that his opinion would scarcely be taken in a court of law on any subject. Janice Day was determined not to listen to these temporizers in Polktown who professed themselves satisfied if the license was taken away from the Lake View Inn.
