Providence is like a curious piece of tapestry made of a thousand shreds, which, single, appear useless, but put together, they represent a beautiful history to the eye.

Christ's resurrection is the ground-work of our hope. And the new birth is our title or evidence of our interest in it.

The more afflictions you have been under, the more assistance you have had for this life of holiness.

Afflictions have the same use and end to our souls, that frosty weather hath upon those clothes that are laid and bleaching, they alter the hue and make them white.

Christ and his benefits go inseparably and undividedly... Many would willingly receive his privileges, who will not receive his person; but it cannot be; if we will have one, we must take the other too: Yea, we must accept his person first, and then his benefits: as it is in the marriage covenant, so it is here.

Jesus, our head, is already in heaven; and if the head be above water, the body cannot drown.
