Quote by Stephen Charnock

“God doth not govern the world only by his will as an absolute monarch, but by his wisdom and goodness as a tender father. It is not his greatest pleasure to show his sovereign power, or his inconceivable wisdom, but his immense goodness, to which he makes the other attributes subservient.”

Otherwise, the artist expresses the same vision in graphics that he does in his other work.”
