Puritan Wisdom


“ Wouldst thou think that Peter, who had walked on the sea with Christ, confessed him to be the son of God, then with him in the mount, when he heard the voice from the excellent glory, should, at the word of a servant-girl, when there was no legal inquisition after him, no process against him nor anyone in his condition, instantly fall a-cursing and swearing that he knew him not?” – John Owen, Of Temptation, in The Works of John Owen, Volume 6:  Temptation and Sin, 131.
