"Remember that your errand at ordinances is to get grace. You have God’s promise to them, and His power and faithfulness, both engaged for its performance; and it is your fault and folly if you go hungry from a full table, and empty from a large treasure…
You complain that you want grace: go to Christ, who has variety and sufficiency for your supply;… Alas, Christ is more willing to sell than you can be to buy; to give, than you are to ask."
- George Swinnock (1627-1673), one of the easiest puritans to read, who suggested that "godliness is every man's main and principal business."
