J. I. Packer
Image
For any two portions of fire, small or great, will exhibit the same ratio of solid to void but the upward movement of the greater is quicker than that of the less, just as the downward movement of a mass of gold or lead, or of any other body endowed with weight, is quicker in proportion to its size.
Aristotle

He whom you see-along the downward arc- was William, and the land that mourns his death, for living Charles and Frederick, now laments now he has learned how Heaven loves the just ruler, and he would show this outwardly as well, so radiantly visible.
