'Ah! you lamenting souls, that spend you days in sighing and groaning under the sense and burden of your sins, why do you deal so unkindly with God, and so injuriously with your own souls, as not to cast an eye upon those precious promises of remission of sin which may bear up and refresh your spirits in the darkest night, and under the heaviest burden of sin?'
Thomas Brooks, Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices, p.145.
