John Owen - Worship

"But such is the corrupt nature of man, that there is scarce any thing whereabout men have been more apt to contend with God from the foundation of the world. That their will and wisdom may have a share (some at least) in the ordering of his worship, is that which of all things they seem to desire."

John Owen, Vol. 15, pg. 40.

That is a good quote; indeed that whole book is excellent.
