As to myself, if I were not a Calvinist, I think I should have no more hope of success in preaching to men, than to horses or cows.

Many have puzzled themselves about the origin of evil. I am content to observe that there is evil, and that there is a way to escape from it, and with this I begin and end.

Thou art coming to a King, large petitions with thee bring, for His grace and power are such none can ever ask too much.

I am a great Sinner and God is a great Savior

To embrace what are called the Calvinistic doctrines was an infallible token of a humble mind.

God works powerfully, but for the most part gently and gradually.

God often takes a course for accomplishing His purposes directly contrary to what our narrow views would prescribe. He brings a death upon our feelings, wishes, and prospects when He is about to give us the desire of our hearts.
