| "Whatever else is done or
omitted, be sure to begin and end with God." (Elliot, 1937, 328) "Country life is to
be preferred, for there we see the works of God; but in cities little else than the works
of men." "As puppets are to babies, and babies to
children, so is man's workmanship to God's; We are the picture, He's the reality." "God's works declare His power, wisdom,
goodness; but man's works, for the most part, his pride folly and excess. The one is for
the use, the otherv chiefly, for ostentation and lust." "It is a severe rebuke upon us, that God
makes us so many allowances, and we make so few to our neighbor." "Religion itself is nothing else but love to
God and man." "Love is above all, and when it prevails in
us all, we shall all be lovely, and in love with God and one another." |
