"But they could not endure to hear of purity, and of victory over sin and the devil. They said they could not believe any could be free from sin on this side of the grave. I bade them give over babbling about the Scriptures, which were holy men’s words, whilst they pleaded for unholiness.

Within my heart, that it may be 
A quiet chamber kept for Thee.

My lips no more can silence keep, 
I too must sing, with joyful tongue, 
That sweetest ancient cradle song, 
Glory to God
