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

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

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.

Mortification is the soul's vigorous opposition to self, wherein sincerity is most evident.

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

We shall not benefit from reading the Old Testament unless we look for and meditate on the glory of Christ in its pages.

The custom of sinning takes away the sense of it, the course of the world takes away the shame of it.
