For the infinite glorious Creator of all things, to become a creature, is a mystery exceeding all human understanding.

Grace makes the promise and providence the payment.

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

Providence so orders the case, that faith and prayer come between our wants and supplies, and the goodness of God may be the more magnified in our eyes thereby.

Christ comes with kingly power, to rescue sinners, as a prey from the mouth of the terrible one.

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

All the tears of a penitent sinner, should he shed as many as there have fallen drops of rain, since the creation, to this day, cannot wash away one sin. The everLasting burnings in hell, cannot purify the flaming conscience, from the least sin.
