Samuel Rutherford:
O wretched idol myself! When shall I see thee wholly decourted, and
Christ wholly put in thy room? O, if Christ, Christ, had a full place
and room of myself, that all my aims, purposes, thoughts, and desires,
would coast and land upon Christ, and not upon myself! And yet, how beit
we cannot attain to this denial of me and mine that we can say I am not
of myself, myself is not myself, my own is no longer mine own; yet our
aiming at this in all we do shall be accepted; for alas, I think I
shall die but minting and aiming to be a Christian.
