Thought 1:
"When Sir Walter Raleigh had laid his head upon the block, says an eloquent divine, he was asked by the executioner whether it lay aright. Whereupon, with the calmness of a hero and the faith of a Christian, he returned an answer, the power of which we shall all feel when our head is tossing and turning on death's uneasy pillow: 'It matters little, my friend, how the head lies providing the heart is right.'" from Steel as quoted in Spurgeon's Sermon Notes
"...to accept Christ's righteousness alone, His blood alone for salvation, that is the sum of the gospel." - Thomas Wilcox (1621-1687) From his sermon Honey Out of the Rock
