As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.
Sivu 173 - An Act for the further Limitation of the Crown, and better securing the Rights and Liberties of the Subject...
