The old truth that Calvin preached, that Augustine preached, that Paul preached, is the truth that I must preach to-day, or else be false to my conscience and my God.

That which thundered through Scotland must thunder through England again.

We are foolish to expect to serve God without opposition: the more zealous we are, the more sure are we to be assailed... Glory be to God, we know the end of the war.

Every man to his post, ye warriors of the cross, and may the Lord tread Satan under your feet shortly!
