"The devil had, as it were, swallowed up Christ, as the whale did Jonah -- but it was deadly poison to him, he gave him a mortal wound in his own bowels. He was soon sick of his morsel, and was forced to do by him as the whale did by Jonah. To this day he is heart-sick of what he then swallowed as his prey."

-- Jonathan Edwards, The Excellency of Christ
