# David Bostwick on Samuel Davies: He Lived “on the Borders of Eternity”

“He spoke as on the Borders of Eternity, and as viewing the Glories and Terrors of an unseen World, and conveyed the most grand affecting Ideas of those important Realities — Realities which he then firmly believed, and which he now sees in the clearest Light of intuitive Demonstration.” — [**David Bostwick**](/authors/david-bostwick), *An Account of the Life, Character, and Death of President Davies* (1761), p. viii
