What shall I say! A holy and good God has covered us with a dark cloud. O that we may kiss the rod, and lay our hands on our mouths! The Lord has done it. He has made me adore his goodness, that we had him so long. But my God lives; and he has my heart. O what a legacy my husband, and your father, has left us! We are all given to God; and there I am, and love to be.

Sarah Edwards — Letter to Mrs. Burr, Stockbridge, April 3, 1758, in "Life of President Edwards," The Works of President Edwards: With a Memoir of His Life, vol. 1 (New York: G. & C. & H. Carvill, 1830), pp. 580-581
