Nicholas Ferrar quotes

The remembrance of death is very powerful to restrain us from sinning. For he should well consider the day will come(and he knoweth not how soon)..... no more Suns will rise and set upon him;.. no more seeing, no more hearing. no more speaking, no more touching, no more tasting, no more fancying, no more understanding, no more remembering, no more desiring, no more loving, no more delights of any sort to be enjoyed by him...let any man duly and daily ponder these things, and how can it be that he should dare..... (Nicholas Ferrar)
