"Be not troubled to think what shall become of you and yours after my death, for be assured that my God, and the God of the widows and fatherless, will not forsake you, but will wonderfully provide for those and be comforted in this, that though men take your husband from you, they cannot take your God from you; and so do not think that you have lost your husband, but only parted with him for a while, and in the meantime your Savior will be a husband unto you and a father unto your children."
- Christopher Love (1618-1651). Love's execution was delayed for a month from July 15th to August 15th, and then for another week after that. On August 21st, the night before his death, he was able to see his wife. These were some his last words to her before they prayed together and she departed.
