For in every soul that shall be saved is a Godly Will that never assented to sin, nor ever shall.

The ground of mercy is love, and the working of mercy is our keeping in love.

He said not 'Thou shalt not be tempested, thou shalt not be travailed, thou shalt not be dis-eased'; but he said, 'Thou shalt not be overcome.

It is most impossible that we should beseech mercy and grace, and not have it.

The age of every man shall be acknowledged before him in Heaven, and every man shall be rewarded for his willing service and for his time.

... so our customary practice of prayer was brought to mind: how through our ignorance and inexperience in the ways of love we spend so much time on petition. I saw that it is indeed more worthy of God and more truly pleasing to him that through his goodness we should pray with full confidence, and by his grace cling to him with real understanding and unshakeable love, than that we should go on making as many petitions as our souls are capable of.

We give our intent to love and meekness, by the working of mercy and grace we are made all fair and clean.
