The little time that remains between this moment and our death, should quicken our diligence to inherit the endless and unchangeable eternity of God.
Stephen CharnockGod doth not govern the world only by his will as an absolute monarch, but by his wisdom and goodness as a tender father. It is not his greatest pleasure to show his sovereign power, or his inconceivable wisdom, but his immense goodness, to which he makes the other attributes subservient.
