Affliction is a school of virtue; it corrects levity, and interrupts the confidence of sinning.
Francis Atterbury Quotes
They who are not induced to believe and live as they ought by those discoveries which God hath made in Scriptures would stand out against any evidence whatever, even that of a messenger sent express from the other world.

About
Francis Atterbury was an English man of letters, politician, and bishop. A High Church Tory and Jacobite, he gained patronage under Queen Anne, but was mistrusted by the Hanoverian Whig ministries, and banished for communicating with the Old Pretender. He was a noted wit and a gifted preacher, but lacked the intellect to win key polemical debates.
