I was never out of my Bible.

Then I saw that there was a way to hell, even from the gates of heaven.

The life blood streaming thro' my heart, Or my more dear immortal part, Is not more fondly dear.

I saw a man clothed with rags . . . a book in his hand, and a great burden upon his back.

To lay hold of and receive the gospel by a true and saving faith is an act of the soul that has been made a new creature, which is the workmanship of God... Wherefore whoever receiveth the grace that is tendered in the gospel, they must be quickened by the power of God, their eyes must be opened, their understandings illuminated, their ears unstopped, their hearts circumcised, their wills also rectified, and the Son of God revealed in them.

Therefore, I bind these lies and slanderous accusations to my person as an ornament; it belongs to my Christian profession to be vilified, slandered, reproached and reviled, and since all this is nothing but that, as God and my conscience testify, I rejoice in being reproached for Christ's sake.

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.
