Excerpt from Willoughby or Reformation, The Influence of Religious Principles, Vol. 1 of 2
In all the vicissitudes of life, whether of fortune fame, health, or of dear and domestic deprivations, what is the mind's support? Whence that energy of spirit which best guards it from presumption or despair, which leads it to rest on a firmer basis for unchangeable happiness, than sublunary joys can supply? Where is the charm that can soften the keenness of disappointment, proceeding from the delusions of human friendship, from the "spurns which patient merit of the unworthy takes, " from "the pangs of despised love, " or from the destruction of those air built fabrics so continually raised by the anticipating spirit of man? A firm conviction of the wisdom, the justice, and the mercy of an over-ruling Providence, can alone render us resigned to the will, and acquiescent to the purposes of God.
