《屬靈情感》ReligiousAffections摘錄
真基督徒........有時也喜愛遠離眾人，在私下獨自與上帝談話........真信仰使人喜歡在僻靜的地方獨處，花時間進行聖潔的默想和禱告........真恩典的本質，即無論恩典使人多麽喜愛參與基督徒群體，但恩典也會特別使人喜愛獨自與上帝私密地交通。
A
true Christian. . . delights at times to retire from all mankind, to converse
with God in solitary places. . . . True religion disposes persons to be much alone
in solitary places, for holy meditation and prayer. . . . It is the nature of
true grace, that however it loves Christian society in its place, yet it in a
peculiar manner delights in retirement, and secret converse with God.
