If a man teach uprightly and walk crookedly, more will fall down in the night of his life than he built in the day of his doctrine.

The love of God is like himself – equal, constant, not capable of augmentation or diminution; our love is like ourselves – unequal, increasing, waning, growing, declining. His, like the sun, always the same in its light, though a cloud may sometimes interpose; ours, as the moon, has its enlargements and straightenings.

We ought as much to pray for a blessing upon our daily rod as upon our daily bread.

Temptation is like a knife, that may either cut the meat or the throat of a man; it may be his food or his poison, his exercise or his destruction

The good Lord send out a spirit of mortification to cure our distempers, or we are in a sad condition!

Meditate on the Word in the Word.

Ignorance of God and of ourselves is the great principle and cause of all our disquietments; and, this ariseth mostly not from want of light and instruction, but for want of consideration and application.
