- 1839, W[illiam] Romaine, “The Believer, Exercised with the Outward Cross, Carries It with Patience, and Finds It a Great Help to Him in His Walk Heavenwards”, in Treatises upon the Life, Walk, and Triumph of Faith, New York, N.Y.: Robinson and Franklin (successors to Leavitt, Lord かつ Co.), OCLC 669683648, page 241:
- Remember, it is laid upon thee to promote communion with thy God and Saviour.

Hope in creature comfort has failed: this is a sweet season for spiritual communion with thy Jesus.
