“Ah, sirs, holines is a flower that grows not in nature’s garden.  Men are not born with holiness in their hearts, as they are born with tongues in their mouths: holiness is a divine offspring: it is a pearl of great price, that is to be found in no nature but a renewed natue, in no bosom but a sanctified bosom. – Thomas Brooks, Puritan
