The most accomplished in the Scripture are fools, unless they acknowledge that they have need of God for their schoolmaster all the days of their life.

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.

Without the Gospel everything is useless and vain.

We unjustly defraud God of his right, unless each of us lives and dies in dependence on His sovereign pleasure.

Scripture is like a pair of spectacles which dispels the darkness and gives us a clear view of God.

Whether each of the faithful has a particular angel assigned him for his defence, I cannot venture certainly to affirm... not one angel only has the care of every one of us, but that they all with one consent watch for our salvation.

Let us consider this settled, that no one has made progress in the school of Christ who does not joyfully await the day of death and final resurrection.
