Alas! in the present imperfect state, they are often complaining sadly of great coldness in their hearts with respect to Christ; they find their minds so much impress'd by the sensible objects, wherewith they are surrounded, and so little affected with his excellencies and grace, that they are ready to question sometimes the sincerity of their love to him; the suspicion of which sinks their spirits, and sorely disquiets their souls. These complaints and doubts shall be wholly dropp'd with their bodies; they shall not follow their spirits into the presence of Christ; there will be no damps upon their love to him, as there shall be no clouds upon his love to them in the heavenly world; he will be the object of their constant and warmest affection.
Samuel Price — Samuel Price, A Funeral Sermon on the Death of Dame Mary Abney, Relict of Sir Thomas Abney (1750), p. 16
