Rules for Preserving Liberty in a Republic. . . [3/4 column]
13. As virtue and true religion are the only basis of a
republic, the wisdom and power of the Legislature should be
perpetually exerted to promote good morals, and the fear and
worship of God among the people, and to suppress vice in
every shape, whether it appears in open drunkenness,
swearing or uncleanness, or in the more courtly forms of
horse-racing, cock-fighting, gaming, or stage-
entertainments. [signed] Harrington.
