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

For to pretend that men may live habitually sinful lives without any attempt by the Spirit to mortify sin in them, nor with any desire for repentance, is to deny the Christian religion.

All that may be known of God for our salvation, especially his wisdom, love, goodness, grace and mercy on which the life of our souls depends, are represented to us in all their splendour in and through Christ. No wonder then that Christ is glorious in the eyes of believers!

Then are we servants of God, then are we the disciples of Christ, when we do what is commanded us and because it is commanded us.

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

Do you mortify; do you make it your daily work; be always at it whilst you live; cease not a day from this work; be killing sin or it will be killing you.

When sin lets us alone we may let sin alone.
