I feel, and I wish you to feel for and with me, after the Rock of eternal life and salvation; for as we are established thereon, we shall be in the everlasting unity, which cannot be shaken by all the changes of time, nor interrupted in a never-ending eternity… We cannot approve or disapprove by parts the works of Omnipotence rightly. We must approve the whole and say, Thy will be done in all things… The desire of my heart is the great blessing of time and the consolation of eternity … let self be of no reputation; trust in the Lord, and he will carry thee through all.

Job Scott, shortly before his death, 1793
