In our good works nothing is our own.

It is therefore faith alone which justifies, and yet the faith which justifies is not alone.

We may rest assured that God would never have suffered any infants to be slain except those who were already damned and predestined for eternal death.

We are nowhere forbidden to laugh, or be satisfied with food...or to be delighted with music or to drink wine.

Prosperity inebriates men, so that they take delights in their own merits.

Our physical illnesses serve us for medicines to purge us from worldly affections and retrench what is superfluous in us, and since they are to us the messengers of death, we ought to learn to have one foot raised to take our departure when it shall please God.

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.
