"It is impossible to be submissive and religiously patient, if ye stay your thoughts down among the confused rollings and wheels of second causes; as, “Oh the place!” “Oh the time!” “Oh if this had been, this had not followed!” Oh the linking of this accident with this time and place! Look up to the master-motion and the first wheel." -- Rutherford, Samuel, and Ellen S. Lister. The Loveliness of Christ: Extracts from the Letters of Samuel Rutherford. Edinburgh: Banner of Truth Trust, 2007, 18. [Letter CCXCIX, 15 Oct. 1640]
