The Surest Way To Know Our Gold, Is To Look Upon It And Examine It In God's Furnace, Where He Tries It That We May See What It Is. If We Have A Mind To Know Whether A Building Stands Strong Or Not, We Must Look Upon It When The Wind Blows. If We Would Know Whether A Staff Be Strong, Or A Rotten, Broken Reed, We Must Observe It When It Is Leaned On And Weight Is Borne Upon It. If We Would Weigh Ourselves Justly We Must Weigh Ourselves In God's Scales That He Makes Use Of To Weigh Us.
