      by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could

      Abigail asking John Adams to remember the ladies is important after all in the fight to free America from England everyone fought and while the men fought in battles the ladies were spies and sought information to help the cause

      Lord our God, and to love one another, to walk in his ways and to keep his Commandments and his ordinance and his laws, and the articles of our Covenant with Him, that we may live and be multiplied, and that the Lord our God may bless us in the land whither we go to possess it

      The author mentions to love one another and yet the native americans showed kindness and the colonizers showed hate and basically laughed at the gods that the native americans worshipped and told them there is only one god and that is my God.

      He might have the more occasion to manifest the work of his Spirit: first upon the wicked in moderating and restraining them, so that the rich and mighty should not eat up the poor, nor the poor and despised rise up against and shake off their yoke.

      It seems kinda ironic for the author to say that he is spreading God's word to cleanse the word of evil when history has shown that they had caused so much harms to other people i.e. the native americans. Not only that but they mention on how both the rich and the poor should respect each other while the rich are hoarding money, jewelry, and power. All while the poor are in famine and dying from dieseas cause they are so poor.
