"And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth" Ex.34:6
"O this persevering is a hard word! This taking up the cross daily, this praying always, this watching night and day, and never laying aside our clothes and armour..this sends many sorrowful away from Christ, yet this is the Saint's daily Duty"
-William Gurnall
