If family religion were duly attended to and properly discharged, I think the preaching of the Word would not be the common instrument of conversion.
Lord, I surrender. I am completely overcome by your love.
I have pain; there is no arguing against sense, but I have peace, I have peace.
A little love has made me willingly study, preach, write, and even suffer.
If life be long, I will be glad, Tthat I may long obey; If short, yet why should I be sad, To soar to endless day?
Is it not enough that all the world is against us, but we must also be against one another? O happy days of persecution, which drove us together in love, whom the sunshine of liberty and prosperity crumbles into dust by our contentions!
