I ground my faith upon God's word, and not upon the church.

God and posterity will show me more favour

I ground my faith upon God's word, and not upon the church.

Deny the world, defy the devil, despise the flesh, and delight yourself only in the Lord.

Pray God in the bowels of his mercy to send you his Holy Spirit; for he hath given you his great gift of utterance, if it pleased him also to open the eyes of your heart.

The faith of the church must be tried by God's word, and not God's word by the church; neither yet my faith.

The highest earthly enjoyments are but a shadow of the joy I find in reading God's Word.
