Jeremiah BurroughsOur names... are in the hands of God, Who will preserve them so far as He has use of them, and further we shall have no use of them ourselves.

Jeremiah BurroughsWe should study Christ, and praise and bless God, and have our hearts enlarged for Jesus Christ. This is the duty of believers to whom God has revealed Christ as wonderful, that in their conversations they should hold out the wonderful glory of Jesus Christ. You should so walk before men as to manifest to all the world that your Savior is a wonderful Savior
