The Works of President Edwards;: Narrative of conversions. Life and diary of the Rev. David Brainerd. Mr. Brainerd's journal. Mr. Brainerd's remains Quotes

Oh, I thought what a hell it would be, to live with such men to eternity!”

“I hoped that my weary pilgrimage in the world would be short; and that it would not be long before I should be brought to my heavenly home and Father's house.”
