Then let every inquirer who wishes to escape to Jerusalem from the overthrow of Babylon, strive in earnest for salvation, in fervent expectation of the blessings of pardon and purity. And if you cannot believe as you would, believe as you can; "Lord, I believe, help thou mine unbelief." And if you cannot pray and seek as you would, pray and seek as you can; resigning, submitting, and depending upon his bounty for deliverance, and never rest until you find the Lord precious to thy soul. Christ was in earnest for thee; O be in good earnest for thyself, and may God for Christ's sake speed you on the way.
Lorenzo Dow — Lorenzo Dow, "A Journey from Babylon to Jerusalem," in History of Cosmopolite; or, The Writings of Rev. Lorenzo Dow (Cincinnati: Alexander S. Robertson, 1850), p. 490
