Let us be peaceable as near as we can: let us relent of our own right: let us not strive for these worldly goods, honour and reputation: let us bear all wrongs and outrages, rather than be moved to any debate through our own fault. But in the meanwhile, let us fight for God's truth with tooth and nail.

In the maxims of the law, God is seen as the rewarder of perfect righteousness and the avenger of sin. But in Christ, His face shines out, full of grace and gentleness to poor, unworthy sinners.

Our true wisdom is to embrace with meek docility, and without reservation, whatever the holy scriptures have delivered.

It is faith alone that justifies, but faith that justifies can never be alone.

Wherever we see the Word of God purely preached and heard, there a church of God exists, even if it swarms with many faults.

Seeing God hath thus set us at liberty, what rashness it is for worms of the earth to make new laws; as though God had not been wise enough.

God works in his elect in two ways: inwardly, by his Spirit; outwardly, by his Word.
