"We would discourse on electing love."
"But the saints are elect in Christ Jesus."
"We would utter many words on the creation of men and angels."
"Now by our Redeemer were all things created that are in heaven and that are in the earth, visible and invisible."
"We would converse on the preservation of what has been created."
"Now Christ upholdeth all things by the word of His power. What would you have, then, for your theme?"
"We would take the flowers of the field for our theme."
"But they are the delight, as well as the contrivance of the Redeemer."
"We would take for our theme the globes in space."
