Watch against inordinate sensual delight in even the law fullest of sports. Excess of pleasure in any such vanity doth very much corrupt and be fool the mind.
Richard Baxter Quotes
Ye holy angels bright, Who wait at God’s right hand, Or through the realms of light Fly at your Lord’s command, Assist our song, Or else the theme too high doth seem For mortal tongue.

About
Richard Baxter was an English Puritan church leader, poet, hymn-writer, theologian, and controversialist. Dean Stanley called him "the chief of English Protestant Schoolmen". After some false starts, he made his reputation by his ministry at Kidderminster, and at around the same time began a long and prolific career as theological writer.
