The dancing for JOY indicates how black
were conditions before the Magma Charta;
how many lost and greatly desired liberties it
restored. These very liberties are now lost
again to most of the world - which, of itself,
should remind us of our own fortune. If you
want to understand how great that is, devote
one single hour to pondering the Bill of Rights
Even they were later conceptions, not included

to satisfy and safeguard citizens awakened to
the new dawn of liberty. Ponder, and ask
yourself whether you would exchange them
