Summary

This quote emphasizes the concept of two-fold birth - the first being our physical birth that brings us into existence as human beings, and the second being our moral and social birth which shapes us into mindful individuals. It suggests that simply being born as a human does not automatically make one a complete "man" or individual; rather, we must undergo personal growth and development, embracing our values, responsibilities, and actions to truly embody the qualities associated with being a thoughtful and conscientious human being.

I now make it my earnest prayer, that God would have you, and the State over which you preside, in his holy protection, that he would incline the hearts of the Citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to Government, to entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another, for their fellow Citizens of the United States at large, and particularly for their brethren who have served in the Field, and finally, that he would most graciously be pleased to dispose us all, to do Justice, to love mercy, and to demean i. e. , comport ourselves with that Charity, humility and pacific temper of mind, which were the Characteristicks of the Divine Author of our blessed Religion, and without an humble imitation of whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy Nation.
