It is the end of religion to have God for our portion, who is the Author, fountain, life and substance of all happiness, and the all-sufficient, yea, the only and sufficient support and felicity of our souls. It is God and his Christ, with the Holy Spirit, that is our all in all, the everlasting and overflowing fountain of bliss. It is from this fund of all-sufficiency that we must be supplied with all we want - all grace and mercy, all peace and pardon, all help and wisdom, all our righteousness, sanctification and redemption.
Griffith Jones, Llanddowror 1684-1761

This is what it is to abide under the shadow of the Almighty, and to hide under His wings until all dangers are past. Christmas Evans 1766-1838
