Knights... ------- In these early days, when poor people were wronged,the knights were almost the only help. This protection to tradesmen and farmers made possible the beginnings of villages and towns outside of castle walls, 'Twas these same Knights...(The Bartons) who in 1215 made king John of England sign the MAGNA CHARTA -the first great milestone to FREEDOM. ******** THE NINE POINTS OF THE MAGNA CHARTA ********** 1.No man should be taken or imprisoned 2.No man should be disseized or dispossessed 3.No man should be outlawed 4.No man should be bannished 5.No man should be distroyed 6.No man should be comdemed but by a judgement of his peers. 7. we shall SELL to no man justice or rights. 8. we shall DENY to no man justice or rights. 9. we shall DERFER to no mand justice or rights. *In other words, BOYS! Government began to guarantee some HUMAN RIGHTS. THE PIONEER KNIGHTS ------------------- *The spirit of LIBERTY grew more and more- religious opression makeing it stronger till little bands began to brave uncharted seas and move to America. They brought with them "Knightly" ideals. In the old Mayflower was signed the first "compact" in which men voluntarily agreed as to how they would be governed. "In ye name of GOD,amen...WE whose names are underwriten,the loyal subjects of our sovern king James... by ye grace of GOD of great Britain France,Ireland, king and defender of ye faith ect. haveing under taken for the glory of GOD, and advancement of the Christian faith, and Honor of our king and contry...a VOYAGE *to plant the first colony on ye northern parts of Virginia, doe by these presents solemly and mutualy in presesce of GOD and one another...covenant and combine ourselves togather into a civil body politic for our better ordering and preservation." These PIONEERS were religious and Law abideing,peaceable and industrious. They laid the foundation for our nation. It was such men that penned the decleration of Independence! "We hold these truths to be self eveident; taht all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life,liberty,and the pursuit of happiness." "And for the support of this declaration.. with a firm reliance on the the protection of divine provence, we mutualy pledge to each other, OUR LIVES,FORTUNENS, AND OUR SACRED HONOR." -=A=- _______ To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe rangernet" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Eat the hay & spit out the sticks!"
