“A poor woman of great worth and excellent understanding, in whose conversation my father took much pleasure, was on her death-bed. Wishing to try her faith, he said to her, ‘Janet, what would you say, if, after all he has done for you, God should let you drop into hell?’–’E'en as he likes: he’ll lose more than I do.’”
–Dr. John Brown
