Without the fear of God, men do not even observe justice and charity among themselves.

It is a most blessed thing to be subject to the sovereignty of God.

Let us fall before the majesty of our great God, acknowledging our faults, and praying that he will make us ever more conscious of them.

The Lord has not redeemed you so you might enjoy pleasures and luxuries or so that you might abandon yourself to ease and indolence, but rather so you should be prepared to endure all sorts of evils.

The fire of affliction reveals the quality of our faith

It is entirely the work of grace and a benefit conferred by it that our heart is changed from a stony one to one of flesh, that our will is made new, and that we, created anew in heart and mind, at length will what we ought to will.

Faith is a knowledge of the benevolence of God toward us, and a certain persuasion of His veracity.
