“The Great Master Gardener, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, in a wonderful providence with his own hand, planted me here, where by his grace, in this part of his vineyard, I grow; and here I will abide till the great master of the vineyard think fit to transplant me.”
Samuel Rutherford, The Loveliness Of Christ: Selections From Samuel Rutherford’s Letters, Edinburgh: Banner of Truth, 2007, pg 1.
