I see such weakness, such deficiency, such unfaithfulness, such imprudence, such unfervency and unconcern, such selfishness, in all that I have done as a minister or a Christian, as richly deserves the deepest damnation of hell. I have no hope of eternal happiness but in Jesus's blood, which cleanseth from all sin;—in redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of my sins, according to the riches of his grace. It is the everlasting covenant of God's free grace, well ordered in all things and sure, that is all my salvation and all my desire.
John Brown of Haddington — "The Author's Dying Advice to His Congregation and Other Hearers," in Select Remains of the Rev. John Brown, Late Minister of the Gospel at Haddington (Pittsburgh: Cramer, Spear and Eichbaum, 1810), p. 163
