Look to it that you do not try to do all of it, do not try to do too much, lest your spirit grow weary. Besides, a good prayer mustn't be too long. Do not draw it out. Prayer ought to be frequent and fervent.

My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.

As for the demented, I hold it certain that all beings deprived of reason are thus afflicted only by the Devil.

Music is one of the fairest and most glorious gifts of God.

The law works fear and wrath; grace works hope and mercy.

God's love gives in such a way that it flows from a Father's heart, the well-spring of all good. The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious; as among ourselves we say of even a trifling gift, "It comes from a hand we love," and look not so much at the gift as at the heart.

Christ will remain a priest and king; though He was never consecrated by any papist bishop or greased by any of those shavelings; but he was ordained and consecrated by God Himself, and by Him anointed.
