A thousand motives will excite them thereto

I cannot stress strongly enough the need for folks to think about the shape of the government that will rise to take the place of the current government.  Whether the change be in six months or sixty years, the need to think about the nature and goals of that unborn government is imperative to the survival of the future generations that will judge us in their history books.

In a sense, this may very well be the best survival tool that you will ever own.  It will cost some money and time as books and thought are neither free nor fast.  But by being able to assist in the creation of a new government you will allow you and yours the breathing room necessary to live and move into the future.

The Heathens paid divine honours to their deceased kings, and the Christian World hath improved on the plan by doing the same to their living ones. How impious is the title of sacred Majesty applied to a worm, who in the midst of his splendor is crumbling into dust!

Needless to say, I recommend buying a physical book.  If that isn’t possible try this
