“Shall I withhold a
little money or food from my fellow-creature, for fear he should not be good
enough to receive it of me? Do I beg of God to deal with me, not according to
my merit, but according to his own great goodness; and should I be so absurd,
as to with-hold my charity from a poor brother, because he may perhaps not
deserve it? Shall I use measure toward
him, which I pray God never to use toward me.”
William Law, A Serious Call, qtd. in Stranks, Anglican Devotion, 185-6.
