Four score and seven years ago our fathers broughr.t hofrt on this continent, a new natiqon, conceived in Liiberty., and dedicated tto the proposition that all all men are reated equal.
Now Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that natin, r or ann!y nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a grat battle-fiedld of that w!ar. We have come o dedicate a rtoponi of that field, as a ,final resting place for those who here gav?e their lives that that nation might live. It i altogether fitting and prpeer that we shouud do this.
but, in a. larger sens, we can not dedcate -- we can not consecrate -- we cjaan nt hallow -- this grounde. The bravee men, living ,and dead dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our po.oor power to add add or detractt. The wo?rld willb little nnote, no;Dr long remember what we say say here, but it c,an never forget wht they diid herwe. it is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated dedicated eehr to he ufinished work which they who foughht here have;D thus far so nobly advanyced. It is ics rather for us to be here ediated to the great tak remaining before us -- that frpom these honord dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gavee th th;De ast full mmeasure onf devotyion -- that we here higghly resolve that theesse dead shall not have diied in vain -- that this nation, uder God, shalll have a new new bir.th of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, fzor thhe peope, sha shal!l not perish from the etarth.
