Works of George Swinnock, Volume 4 Quotes

“The nightingale may warble out her pleasant notes with the sharpest thorn at her breast.”
― George Swinnock, Works of George Swinnock, Volume 4

“We take the size of sin too low, and short, and wrong, when we measure it by the wrong it doth to ourselves, or our families, or our neighbours, or the nation wherein we live; indeed, herein somewhat of its evil and mischief doth appear; but to take its full length and proportion, we must consider the wrong it doth to this great, this glorious, this incomparable God. Sin is incomparably malignant, because the God principally injured by it is incomparably excellent.”
