The works of God are great mysteries and may truly always be hidden from us, however it is not wrong to lead your own personal enquiry through your prayers to the Lord.

God grant you all your desires and accept my own hearty thanks for all your attention to me. Although indeed, those attentions have tried me more than death can now terrify me.

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

I think that at the supper I neither receive flesh nor blood, but bread and wine; which bread when it is broken, and the wine when it is drunken, put me in remembrance how that for my sins the body of Christ was broken, and his blood shed on the cross.

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

God and posterity will show me more favour

I do wash my hands in innocency, before God and the face of you, good Christian people this day.
