1630 -- John Winthrop – “A Modell of Christian Charity”
|
“Love is the fulfilling of the lawe, not that it is enough to love our brother and soe noe further but in regard of the excellency of his partes giveing any motion to the other as the Soule to the body and the power it hath to sett all the faculties on worke in the outward exercise of this duty as when wee bid one make the clocke strike he doth not lay hand on the hammer which is the immediate instrument of the sound but setts on worke the first mover or maine wheele, knoweing that will certainely produce the sound which hee intends; soe the way to drawe men to the workes of mercy is not by force of Argument from the goodnes of necessity of the worke, for though this course may enforce a rationall minde to some present Act of mercy as is frequent in experience, yet it cannot worke such a habit in a Soule as shall make it prompt upon all occasions to produce the same effect but by frameing these affeccions of love in the hearte which will as natively bring for the other, as any cause doth produce the effect.” (34-35)

1641 – The Way of Life – John Cotton - Mechanics

“Christ gave us our life, and he preserves it, wee cannot better explaine it then thus; A wind-mill moves not onely by the wind, but in the wind; so a water-mill hath its motion, not onely from the water, but in the water; so a Christian lives, as having his life from Christ, and in Christ, and further then Christ breathes and assists, her stirs not” (50).

1640 – The Paterne of Perfection – Thomas Hooker - Adam
|
“Adams soule was like a well-tuned instrument, all the strings (the affections) being rightly tuned, make a sweet harmony. In a well governed common-wealth, the Councel directs, the King enacts lawes, and the subjects obey: so there was wisdom in Adams understanding, and that counseled; there was holinesse in the will, and that commanded; and all affections were like loyall subjects, imbracing what reason and holy will commanded. In this common-wealth there were no traitors; no, in Adams heart there were no tumultuous disorders, as now we finde; but what the reason said, and the will chused, that the affections embraced.” (55)

Quote from Country of the Pointed Firs
|
In the life of each of us, I said to myself, there is a place remote and islanded, and given to endless regret or secret happiness; we are each the uncompanioned hermit and recluse of an hour or a day; we understand our fellows of the cell to whatever age of history they may belong.
