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

If private revelations agree with Scripture, they are needless, and if they disagree, they are false.

If our principal treasure be as we profess, in things spiritual and heavenly, and woe unto us if it be not so! on them will our affections, and consequently our desires and thoughts, be principally fixed.

As among all the doctrines of the gospel, there is none opposed with more violence and subtlety than that concerning our regeneration by the immediate, powerful, effectual operation of the Holy Spirit of grace.

We speak much of God, can talk of him, his ways, his works, his counsels, all the day long; the truth is, we know very little of him.

He that hath slight thoughts of sin, never had great thoughts of God.

Only what God has commanded in His word should be regarded as binding; in all else there may be liberty of actions.
