==John Knox==
Letter to Thomas Upcher.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnknox04knox Laing D (1895), "The works of John Knox", vol 4, pp241-244.]</ref>
:The Lord shall wipe all tears from the eyes of his Saints.
:DEARLY BELOVED Brother in our Saviour Jesus Christ, by your short writing I perceive somewhat of that battle which, during the short time ye were with us, I judged you to fight.
:.... if I can not ease any part of your grief, (that is only the office of Christ Jesus by his Spirit,) yet I praise my God I can lament and mourn with my brother tormented. Nothing I know to be more dolorous to the heart of the faithful, then to lack the sensible feeling of God's mercy and goodness ... and yet as nothing more commonly cometh to God's children, so is there no exercise more profitable for his soldiers than is the same.
:.... [David, Job and Paul] were destitute of the sensible feeling of God's mercy, as I am assured that every member of Christ's body is at a time or other.
