The poor child is, no doubt, in utter misery."
— from The Unseen Bridegroom; Or, Wedded For a Week by May Agnes Fleming
There is no man that intends seriously an end, but he intends means in order to that end: as when a man intends the preservation or recovery of his health, he will intend means in order to those ends, otherwise he cannot be said to intend his health; so he that is not diligent in using means to know the mind of God, has no sound intention to make the will and law of God his rule.
— from The Existence and Attributes of God, Volumes 1 and 2 by Stephen Charnock
