The knowledge of Christ is profound and large. All other sciences are but shadows; this is a boundless, bottomless ocean. Though something of Christ be unfolded in one age, and something in another, yet eternity itself cannot full unfold him.

That soul is dead to which the Spirit of Christ is not given in the work of regeneration; and all its works are dead works.

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

A hot iron, though blunt, will pierce sooner than a cold one, though sharper.

Look around in the world, and you may see some in every place who are objects of pity, bereaved by sad accidents of all the comforts of life, while in the meantime Providence has tenderly preserved you.

Scripture knows no other way to glory, but Christ put on and applied by faith.

The Spirit must therefore first take hold of us before we can live in Christ, and when he doth so, then we are enabled to exert that vital act of faith, whereby we receive Christ.
