„Soužení je lepší než hřích, a sešle-li Bůh první, aby nás pročistil od druhého, děkujme mu a buďme též spokojeni platit tomu poslovi.“

Originál: (en) God takes the most eminent and choicest of His servants for the choicest and most eminent afflictions. They who have received most grace from God are able to bear most afflictions from God. Affliction does not hit the saint by chance, but by direction. God does not draw His bow at a venture. Every one of His arrows goes upon a special errand and touches no breast but his against whom it is sent. It is not only the grace, but the glory of a believer when we can stand and take affliction quietly.
