The flesh is willing to flatter itself, and many who now give themselves every indulgence, promise to themselves an easy entrance into life. THus men practice mutual deception on each other and fall asleep in wicked indifference.

Whomever the Lord has adopted and deemed worthy of His fellowship ought to prepare themselves for a hard, toilsome, and unquiet life, crammed with very many and various kinds of evil.

To will is human, to will the bad is of fallen nature, but to will the good is of Grace.

Joy and thanksgiving expressed in prayer and praise according to the Word of God are the heart of the Church's worship.

There is no worse screen to block out the Spirit than confidence in our own intelligence.

Faith and hope...are the wings by which our souls, rising above the world, are lifted up to God.

Creatures are so governed by the secret counsel of God, that nothing happens but what he has knowingly and willingly decreed.
