Light things are carried by the stream, and light spirits by the multitude. But the sincere Christian is massy and weighty; he will sooner sink to the bottom, and yield to the fury of a multitude by suffering from them, than float after their example in sinning with them.

—William Gurnall
The Christian in Complete Armour (London: Thomas Tegg, 1845), 278.
