“There is no master so kind as Christ; no service so pleasant and profitable as that of Christ; and no reward so full, satisfying, and permanent as that of Christ. Let us, therefore, begin all things from Christ; carry on all things with and through Christ; and let all things aim at and end in Christ.”

John Brown (of Haddington, 1722-1787), cited by Joel Beeke, Puritan Reformed Spirituality [Evangelical Press], p. 213.
