"When Miranda has the New Testament in her hand, she supposes her self at the feet of our Savior and His Apostles, and makes every thing that she learns of them, so many laws of her life. She receives their sacred words with as much attention, and reverence, as if she saw their persons, and knew that they were just come from Heaven on purpose to teach her the way that leads to it."

William Law, A sincere call to a devout and holy life.
