Oh, that I might live to see that day
when professors shall
not walk in vain show; when they shall please themselves no
more with a name to live, being spiritually dead; when they
shall no more (as many of them now are) be a company of frothy,
vain, and unserious persons; but the majestic beams of holiness
shining from their heavenly and serious conversation shall awe
the world, and command reverence from all who are about them;
when they shall warm the hearts of those who come near them,
so that men shall say, 'God is truly in these men!'
-JOHN FLAVEL
