We are not distinguished from brutes by our senses, but by our understanding.

The opening of your hearts to receive the Lord Jesus Christ is not a work done by any power of your own, but the arm of the Lord is revealed therein.

It would much conduce to the settlement of your hearts, to consider, That by fretting and discontent, you do yourselves more injury thart till the afsltilions you lie under could do; your own discontent is that which arms your troubles with a sting; it is you that make your burden heavy, by struggling under it. Could you but lie quiet under the hand of God, your condition would be much easier and sweeter than it is.

They that know God will be humble. They that know themselves cannot be proud.

Christ bounds and terminates the vast desires of the soul; He is the very Sabbath of the soul.

Some providences, like Hebrew letters, must be read backwards.

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