Sammy Rutherford, still writing from prison in Aberdeen: “Consider, it is impossible that your idol sins and you can go to heaven together; and that those who will not part with these do not indeed love Christ at the bottom, but only in word and shew, which will not do the business. . . . “Remember, many go far on, and reform many things, and can find tears, as Esau did; And suffer hunger for truth, as Judas did; And desire the end of the righteous, as Balaam did; And profess fair, and fight for the Lord, as Saul did; And desire the saints of God to pray for them, as Pharaoh and Simon Magus did; And prophesy of Christ, as Caiaphas did; And hear the word of God gladly, as Herod did; And yet be watered brass and base metal. These are written that we should try ourselves, and not rest till we be a step nearer Christ than sun-burnt and withering professors can come.” (1637)
