"The sight of them [the hills around Berkhamsted] affected me much, and awakened in me a lively Recollection of the Goodness of the Lord in caring for and Protecting me in those dark and dangerous days of Ignorance and Enmity against him, and his own Blessed Word teaches me to draw an Inference from these Premises of more Worth than Millions of Gold and Silver; If while I was an Enemy he loved Me, much more reason have I to rest assured of his Love, being reconciled by the Blood of his Son."
-William Cowper (1731-1800; Poet and penman of the hymn "There is a Fountain Filled With Blood")
