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.

God and posterity will show me more favour

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

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

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

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