Assurance is like the mariner's lantern on the deck, which gives light in a dark night. Assurance gives the light of comfort in affliction. He that hath assurance, can rejoice in tribulation; he can gather grapes of thorns, and honey out of the lion's carcase.

Thomas Watson — A Body of Practical Divinity, "Of Assurance" (with Heb. 10:34 in the surrounding discussion)
