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

But we have nothing of the Spirit except through regeneration. Everything, therefore, which we have from nature is flesh.

Surely in Judas' betrayal it will be no more right, because God both willed that his Son be delivered up, and delivered him up to death, to ascribe the guilt of the crime to God than to transfer the credit for redemption to Judas.

Where God's Spirit does not reign, there is no humility, and men ever swell with inward pride.

When we know God to be our Father, should we not desire that he be known as such by all? And if we do not have this passion, that all creatures do him homage, is it not a sign that his glory means little to us?

On the one hand, undeserved success gives no satisfaction... but, on the other hand, well-deserved failure gives no satisfaction either.

You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy.
