Christ's intercession is the continual application of his death to our salvation.

They babble and talk absurdly who, in the place of God's providence, substitute bare permission - as if God sat in a watchtower awaiting chance events , and his judgments thus depended upon human will.

We are not to look to what men in themselves deserve but to attend to the image of God which exists in all and to which we owe all honor and love.

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

To will is human, to will the bad is of fallen nature, but to will the good is of Grace.

Mingled vanity and pride appear in this, that when miserable men do seek after God, instead of ascending higher than themselves as they ought to do, they measure him by their own carnal stupidity, and neglecting solid inquiry, fly off to indulge their curiosity in vain speculation.

To search for wisdom apart from Christ means not simply foolhardiness but utter insanity.
