I will stay in jail to the end of my days before I make a butchery of my conscience.

There is no way to kill a man's righteousness but by his own consent.

One leak will sink a ship: and one sin will destroy a sinner.

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

To-despise the world is the way to enjoy heaven; and blessed are they who delight to converse with God by prayer.

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

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.
