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

God and posterity will show me more favour

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

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

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

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.
