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

To see a man humble under prosperity is one of the greatest rarities in the world.

No doctrine is more excellent, or necessary to be preached and studied, than Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

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

Tell me, you vain professor, when did you shed a tear for the deadness, hardness, unbelief, or earthliness of your heart? Do you think that such an easy religion can save you? If so, we may invert Christ's words and say, 'Wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to life, and may there be that go in there.'

It is a common thing for men to benumb their own arms, and make them as dead and useless by leaning too much upon them: so it is in a moral as well as a natural way: all the prudence and pains in the world avail nothing without God. So saith the Psalmist, in Psalm cxxvii. 2.

We acknowledge no righteousness but what the obedience and satisfaction of Christ yields us. His blood, not our faith; his satisfaction, not our believing it, is the matter of our justification before God.
