Our hearts melted as wax
“How were our hearts melted as wax, and our souls poured out as water before the Lord, and our spirits as oil, frankincense and myrrh, offered up unto the Lord as sweet incense, when not a word outwardly in all our assembly had been uttered!
…We met together and waited together in silence: it may be sometimes not a word in our meetings for months; but everyone that was faithful waited upon the living word in our own hearts.”
— John Burnyeat, 1691
Quaker traveling minister
