If we would talk less and pray more about them, things would be better than they are in the world: at least, we should be better enabled to bear them.

Indwelling sin always abides whilst we are in this world; therefore it is always to be mortified.

I do not understand how a man can be a true believer, in whom sin is not the greatest burden, sorrow and trouble.

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!

The mortification of indwelling sin remaining in our mortal bodies, that it may not have life and power to bring forth the works or deeds of the flesh is the constant duty of believers.

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.

Free will is "corrupted nature's deformed darling, the Pallas or beloved self-conception of darkened minds"
