Take heed of driving so hard after this world, as to hinder thyself and family from those duties towards God, which thou art by grace obliged to; as private prayer, reading the scriptures, and Christian conference. It is a base thing for men so to spend themselves and families after this world, as that they disengage their heart to God's worship.

He that forgets his friend is ungrateful to him; but he that forgets his Saviour is unmerciful to himself.

Run when I can, walk when I cannot run, and creep when I cannot walk.

In all your prayers forget not to thank the Lord for his mercies.

Afflictions make the heart more deep, more experimental, more knowing and profound, and so, more able to hold, to contain, and beat more.

Grace can pardon our ungodliness and justify us with Christ's righteousness; it can put the Spirit of Jesus Christ within us; it can help us when we are down; it can heal us when we are wounded; it can multiply pardons, as we through frailty multiply transgressions.

For to speak the truth, there are but few that care thus to spend their time, but choose rather to be speaking of things to no profit.
