On the Fourth of July, 1776, He pledged his Life, Fortune and Sacred Honor To the INDEPENDENCE OF HIS COUNTRY. On the Third of September, 1783, s He affixed his seal to the definitive treaty with Great Britain, Which acknowledged that independence, And consummated the redemption of his pledge. On the Fourth of July, 1826, He was summond To the Independence of Immortality, And to the JUDGMENT OF HIS GOD. This House will bear witness to his piety; This Town, his birthplace, to his munificence; History to his patriotism; Posterity to the depth and compass of his mind. Tl PU U.
