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

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

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

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.

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.

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 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.
