Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“All men have a natural and indefeasible right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own consciences; No (sic) man can of right be compelled to attend, erect or support any place of worship, or to maintain any ministry against his consent; No (sic) human authority can, in any case, whatever, control or interfere with the rights of conscience, and no preference shall ever be given by law to any religious establishments or modes of worship. The provision at issue is that providing for freedom of “the rights of conscience.””
