For there is no one so great or mighty that he can avoid the misery that will rise up against him when he resists and strives against God.

A soul, therefore, when deprived of the Word of God, is given up unarmed to the devil for destruction

Wherever we find the Word of God surely preached and heard, and the sacraments administered according to the institution of Christ, there, it is not to be doubted, is a church of God.

Angels are the dispensers and administrators of the divine beneficence toward us.

The Lord has given us a table at which to feast, not an altar on which a victim is to be offered; He has not consecrated priests to make sacrifice, but servants to distribute the sacred feast.

Now the great thing is this: we are consecrated and dedicated to God in order that we may thereafter think, speak, meditate, and do, nothing except to his glory. For a sacred thing may not be applied to profane uses without marked injury to him.
