It is not the mouth that is the main thing to be looked at in prayer, but whether the heart is so full of affection and earnestness in prayer with God, that it is impossible to express their sense and desire; for then a man desires indeed, when his desires are so strong, many, and mighty, that all the words, tears, and groans that can come from the heart, cannot utter them.

Thou art beaten that thou mayest be better.

Humility is the light of understanding.

Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin will entice a man to cease from prayer.

The name of the Slough was Despond.

An idle man's brain is the devil's workshop.
