Page 114 - This is a misery much to be lamented; for though they were burning and shining lights in their times, yet they penetrated not into the whole counsel of God; but were they now living, would be as willing to embrace further light as that which they first received.
Page 114 - Calvinists, you see, stick fast where they were left by that great man of God, who yet saw not all things.
