The Lord help me to press after God forever

I am an old sinner; and if God had designed mercy for me, he would have called me home to himself before now.

I am more weary of life, I think, than ever I was.

As long as I see anything to be done for God, life is worth having; but O how vain and unworthy it is to live for any lower end!

The all-seeing eye of God beheld our deplorable state; infinite pity touched the heart of the Father of mercies; and infinite wisdom laid the plan of our recovery.

First, Resolve upon, and daily endeavour to practise, a life of seriousness and strict sobriety.

Oh, that I could spend every moment of my life to God's glory!
