The season is now returned that calls many of you to sea again, and I have devoted this afternoon to taking leave. It is natural for your friends, when you are going abroad, to say, 'I wish you well:' by which, in general, nothing more is meant than wishing you fair winds, short voyages, good health, a brisk market, large remittances, and a safe return. All this I wish you, as much as any of them: but I think I wish you something better than all this, when I shake you by the hand and say, "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you."

Samuel Lavington — Sermons, and Other Discourses, vol. II (London: Gale, Curtis, and Fenner, 1815), Sermon XX, "The Nature and Importance of the Grace of Christ," preached March 4, 1787, p. 349
