The said United Colonies for themselves and their posterities do jointly and severally hereby enter into a firm and perpetual league of friendship and amity for offence and defense, mutual advice and succor upon all just occasions both for preserving and propagating the truth and liberties of the Gospel and for their own mutual safety and welfare …
Later, in 1697, William Penn made the first proposal to unite all the American colonies. See {612247}.
I believe what I write to be the truth...every man who is not indifferent to the truth has a weakness for spreading it about.
The propagation of truth and nonviolence can be done less by books than by actually living on those principles.
But God himself is truth; in propagating which, as men display a greater integrity and zeal, they approach nearer to the similitude of God, and possess a greater portion of his love.
Evangelizing includes the endeavor to elicit a response to the truth taught.
The Internet unfortunately means that, although a lot of truth and good stuff can spread as a result of the Internet, I think bad stuff and negativity spreads even more quickly.
It is through the tongue, the pen, and the press that truth is principally propagated.
Every expression of truth has in it the seeds of propagation, even as the sun cannot hide its light.
