Few persons comparatively are required to act in such a department as it has been my happy lot to fill: yet, important as it is, we blind mortals should be careful not to magnify the importance of our subject, so as to cast a thousand others into the shade. Individual responsibility before God, and the Divine command, "Love one another," invest all that lies before every individual, when called to think, and act, and speak, with the importance of eternity; whilst every Christian, in the path marked out by the wisdom of God's providence, whether in public or seclusion, will ever exhibit by their lovely effects, the same grand and influential principles; for when a believing sinner is found looking unto Jesus, the heart is new, and gratitude delights in his commandments.
Sarah Martin — Sarah Martin, the Prison Visitor, of Great Yarmouth, with Extracts from Her Writings and Prison Journals, a new edition, with additions (London: The Religious Tract Society, n.d.), "The Life of Sarah Martin," p. 37
