# Samuel Davies on the Hypotyposis of a Christian’s Life

“I have often with an aching heart, read that surprising delineation (or rather hypotyposis) of a Christian’s life, which the mercy of God has given us in Romans xiv. 7, 8. May I never rest, till I find myself the glorious transcript of it!” — [**Samuel Davies**,](/authors/samuel-davies) August 26, 1750 Letter to Joseph Bellamy
