While sin is overflowing, [grace] pours itself forth so exuberantly, that it not only overcomes the flood of sin, but wholly absorbs it.

It is therefore faith alone which justifies, and yet the faith which justifies is not alone.

It is evident that man never attains to a true self-knowledge until he has previously contemplated the face of God, and come down after such contemplation to look into himself.

Whether each of the faithful has a particular angel assigned him for his defence, I cannot venture certainly to affirm... not one angel only has the care of every one of us, but that they all with one consent watch for our salvation.

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.

Faith consists, not in ignorance, but in knowledge, and that, not only of God, but also of the divine will.

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