No heart can conceive that treasury of mercies which lies in this one privilege, in having liberty and ability to approach unto God at all times, according to his mind and will.

It must be observed, that the best of men, the most holy and spiritually minded, may have, nay, ought to have, their thoughts of spiritual things excited, multiplied, and confirmed, by the preaching of the word.

If we do not abide in prayer, we will abide in temptation.

There wanted not some beams of light to guide men in the exercise of their Stocastick faculty.

Mortification from a self-strength, carried on by ways of self-invention, unto the end of a self-righteousness, is the soul and substance of all false religion in the world.

If we do not abide in prayer, we will abide in temptation.

When this is true in our lives, a passing temptation will not overcome us. We will remain free while others lie in bondage.

That wisdom which cannot teach me that God is love, shall ever pass for folly.
