if ever I would suffer rightly, I must first pass a sentence of death upon every thing that can be properly called a thing of this life
December 8, 2009… if ever I would suffer rightly, I must first pass a sentence of death upon every thing that can be properly called a thing of this life, even to reckon myself, my wife, my children, my health, my enjoyment, and all, as dead to me, and myself as dead to them.

John Bunyan on “But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God that raiseth the dead.” 2 Cor. 1: 9.
