It is with professors of religion, especially such as become so in a time of outpouring of the Spirit of God, as it is with blossoms in the spring; there are vast numbers of them upon the trees, which all look fair and promising; but yet many of them never some to anything…It is the mature fruit which comes afterwards, and not the beautiful colours and smell of the blossoms, that we must judge by.
- Jonathan Edwards, Quoted in Ian Murray's Jonathan Edwards: A New Biography, 251.
