October 26 Edward Williams 2

But let the returning sinner who is humbled for his crimes, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh, let the penitent believer in Jesus who is conscious of extreme unworthiness in himself look to the character of God through the medium of that doctrine which has now been asserted (predestination) and what shall he behold? A boundless, fathomless ocean of goodness, of love of grace and mercy and a river of life and salvation to convey him thither in order to enjoy everlasting felicity.
Edward Williams 1750-1813

Griffith Jones, Llanddowror 1684-1761
