"A free man is he that, in those things which by his strength and wit he is able to do, is not hindered to do what he has a will to."

"A man cannot lay down the right of resisting them that assault him by force, to take away his life."

"The right of nature... is the liberty each man hath to use his own power, as he will himself, for the preservation of his own nature; that is to say, of his own life."
