Lord discusses the formation of the early Church at Norwich during his long tenure there. "Man's Life is soon cut off and he flys away to yonder World of Spirits-- So that, the whole run of Business here, of this and that kind, is short, and soon over, with Time; which, hastens to an end. But, short as Time is, (always on the wing,) it is long enough to reach unto, and introduce Eternity; which certainly follows upon the shortest Life that is."
