It is past all question, and agreed on by all sides, that no religion will save a man who is not serious, sincere, and diligent in it. If thou be of the truest religion in the world, and are not true thyself to that religion, the religion is good, but it is none of thine.
Richard BaxterIf 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?
Richard Baxter
