"You think we are too earnest with you to leave your sins and accept of Christ; but when you come to die you will see the meaning of it. We see death at your backs."
- Matthew Henry (1662-1714), on preaching to his congregation. Being noted for his warm zeal in preaching, he defended himself saying, "I cannot help it; for I believe the things I speak to be true and great, and I would be in my work as one in earnest."
