— David Dickson (1583–1663)

More quotes by Christopher Love
Abraham was justified by works before men, but before God it was the righteousness of Christ wherein, by faith, he shrouded himself. Faith justifies the person, and works justify his faith, both to himself and other men.
— Elisha Coles (1608?–1688)
Should you see a man in a ship throw himself overboard into the sea, you might at first think him out of his wits; but if a little while after you should see him stand safe on the shore and the ship swallowed up of the waves, you would then think he took the wisest course. Faith sees the world and all the pleasures of sin sinking; there is a leak in them which the wit of man cannot stop. Now, is it not better to swim by faith through a sea of trouble and get safe to heaven at last than to sit in the lap of sinful pleasures till we drown in hell’s gulf?
— William Gurnall (1617-1679)
