Excerpt from A Discourse on the Death of Zachary Taylor They form their own plans without reference to Him, they rely on their own wisdom, courage, strength, - they talk of chance, of good, or of ill luck, - they are cast down by unexpected trouble, as if it sprung from the ground, - they form expedients of recovery from disaster, and boast of their own resources, - they sacrifice to their own net, they burn incense to their own drag, - they trust in man, and their hopes and fears depend upon an arm of flesh. Now, all this is a striking proof of the alienation and apostasy of mankind from their normal state of affectionate and confiding loyalty to the King of kings and the Lord of lords. It is the essence of all genuine religion to exhibit this devout allegiance. And it is the design of His revelation, and of His plan of grace in the Gospel, and of all the dispensations of His Providence, - to recover men from their apostacy, and restore them to His favor, in the practice of faith and in the love of His authority.
