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

If it seems more horrible to kill a man in his own house, then in a field,...it ought surely to be deemed more atrocious to destroy a fetus in the womb before it has come to light.

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.

To know God as the sovereign disposer of all good, inviting us to present our requests, and yet not to approach or ask of him, were so far from availing us, that it were just as if one told of a treasure were to allow it to remain buried in the ground.

Nobody seriously believes the universe was made by God without being persuaded that He takes care of His works.

Can true repentance exist without faith? By no means. But although they cannot be separated, they ought to be distinguished.

Peace and friendship are an amiable thing among men. They be so indeed, and we ought to seek them to the uttermost of our power. But yet for all that, we must set such store by God's truth, that if all the world should be set on fire for the maintenance thereof, we should not stick at it.
