We must not think that faith itself is the soul's rest; it is only the means of it. We cannot find rest in any work or duty of our own, but we may find it in Christ, whom faith apprehends for justification and salvation.

The law sends us to Christ to be justified, and Christ sends us to the law to be regulated.

My soul is of more value than ten thousand worlds.

Observed duties maintain our credit; but secret duties maintain our life.
