The Reformed Pastor by Richard Baxter
May a physician in plague-time take any more relaxation or recreation than is necessary for his life, when so many are expecting his help in a case of life and death? Will you stand by and see sinners gasping under the pangs of death, and say: God doth not require me to make myself a drudge to save them? Is this the voice of ministerial or Christian compassion or rather of sensual laziness and diabolical cruelty.
