The name of Christ excludes all merit of our own.

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

Man's mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition; so much so that if a man believes his own mind it is certain that he will forsake God and forge some idol in his own brain.

This is plainly to ascribe divinity to 'free will.'

We must observe that the knowledge of God which we are invited to cultivate is not that which, resting satisfied with empty speculation, only flutters in the brain, but a knowledge which will prove substantial and fruitful whenever it is duly perceived and rooted in the heart.

The Lord has given us a table at which to feast, not an altar on which a victim is to be offered; He has not consecrated priests to make sacrifice, but servants to distribute the sacred feast.

Human will does not by liberty obtain grace, but by grace obtains liberty.
