"Better a thousand times live under the government and tutorie of Christ, as be your own, and live at will. Live in Christ, and you are in the suburbs of heaven, there is but a thinne wall betweene you and the land of praises; yee are within an houres sayling of the shore of the new Canaan." Samuel Rutherford, "To the Reader," Christ Dying and Drawing Sinners to Himself (London, 1647), b2verso.
