"Holiness
is the Beauty of earth and of heaven. They who jeer and scoff at
holiness and rejoice that they are none of the holy ones, might as well
make bone fires, ring the bells, and give thanks that they shall never
be saved. For if they are not holy, saved they cannot be."- Ralph Venning (1621 - 1643), The Sinfulness of Sin
A Quest for Godliness - The Puritan Vision of the Christian Life, by J. I. Packer
