Beware of resting in the word of the kingdom, without the spirit and power of the kingdom of that gospel, for the gospel coming in word only saves nobody, for the kingdom of God or the gospel, where it comes to salvation, is not in word but in power.

No man, without trials and temptations, can attain a true understanding of the Holy Scriptures.

If that a pearl may in a toad's head dwell, And may be found too in an oyster shell.

Our sins, when laid upon Christ, were yet personally ours, not his; so his righteousness, when put upon us, is yet personally his, not ours.

The law, instead of cleansing the heart from sin, doth revive it, put strength into, and increase it in the soul, even as it doth discover and forbid it, for it doth not give power to subdue.

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

Humility is the light of understanding.
