A Brighter Day Begins with His Word.

Rutherford, Samuel, 1600?-1661 • SECTION 86

Part 86

← Letters of Samuel Rutherford (Third Edition)

She is your mother; forget her not; for the Lord intendeth to melt and try this land, and it is high time we were all upon our feet, and falling about to try what claim we have to Christ. It is like the bridegroom will be taken from us, and then we shall mourn. Dear Jesus, remove not, else take us with Thee. Grace, grace be with you for ever.

Your Ladyship's, at all dutiful obedience,
