we oeheve these truths 10 be seifevident; that all

THESE are NE ana hoery ana the pursuit OF happnessi
natt secure these rights governments are instituted

the bitter remose Of their own conscences and
to 60 forward in the discharge Of the duty before them
was to fully identify their destiny with that OF liberty
