''I believe I can truly declare, that not a single day has passed in which you have not been in my thoughts,…..O dear Sir, let not your hands cease to be lifted up, lest Amalek prevail (Exodus 17:11-16) – entreat for me that I may be enabled by divine grace to resist and subdue all the numerous enemies of my salvation. My path is peculiarly steep and difficult and dangerous, but the prize is a crown of glory and celestial panoply is offered me and the God of Hosts for my ally.'' (John Newton by Richard Cell P.176-177)
