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.

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

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.

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

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

God and posterity will show me more favour
