We admit no faith to be justifying, which is not itself and in its own nature a spiritually vital principle of obedience and good works.

Sin is never less quiet than when it seems to be most quiet.

Now nothing can prevent this but mortification; that withers the root and strikes at the head of sin every hour, so that whatever it aims at it is crossed in.

The most tremendous judgment of God in this world is the hardening of the hearts of men.

The root of an unmortified course is the digestion of sin without bitterness in the heart.

A minister may fill his pews, his communion roll, the mouths of the public, but what that minister is on his knees in secret before God Almighty, that he is and no more.

In or towards whomsoever the Holy Spirit puts forth His power, or acts his grace for their regeneration, he removes all obstacles, overcomes all oppositions, and infallibly produces the intended effect.
