Creatures are so governed by the secret counsel of God, that nothing happens but what he has knowingly and willingly decreed.

When God designs to forgive us he changes our hearts and turns us to obedience by His Spirit.

The sufferings of Christ are the means of forgiveness of sin and eternal glory

Prayer is the chief exercise of faith.

We may rest assured that God would never have suffered any infants to be slain except those who were already damned and predestined for eternal death.

God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation.

Let us not cease to do the utmost, that we may incessantly go forward in the way of the Lord; and let us not despair of the smallness of our accomplishments.
