To live with all my might, while I do live

Resolved, never henceforward, till I die, to act as if I were any way my own, but entirely and altogether God's.

I go out to preach with two propositions in mind. First, every person ought to give his life to Christ. Second, whether or not anyone else gives him his life, I will give him mine.

Resolved, never to do anything out of revenge.

The beauty of the world consists wholly of sweet mutual consents, either within itself or with the supreme being.
