Whensoever God's truth is defaced or when any man turns away from the pure simplicity of the Gospel, we must not in any wise spare him, but although the whole world should set itself against us, yet must we maintain the case with invincible constancy, without bending for any creature.

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

While all men seek after happiness, scarcely one in a hundred looks for it from God.
