English (original)
Ye have lost a child — nay, she is not lost to you, who is found to Christ; she is not sent away, but only sent before; like unto a star, which going out of our sight, doth not die and vanish, but shineth in another hemisphere.
— Samuel Rutherford
More from Samuel Rutherford
ye and I might meet with joy up in the rainbow
I had but one joy, the apple of the eye of my delights , to preach Christ my Lord
Like a fool as I was , I suffered my sun to be high in the heavens and near afternoon before I ever took the gate by the end.
I see grace growth best in winter
I hang by a thread, but it is (if I may so speak) of Christ's spinning
The bloom fell off my branches and joy did cast off its flower
