The Holy Ghost has called me by the gospel and illuminated me with his gifts and sanctified and preserved me in the true faith.

If I profess with loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except that little point which the world and the Devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved, and to be steady on all the battlefield besides, is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point.

Let a man be endowed with ten virtues and have but one fault and the one fault will eclipse and darken all the virtues.

All who call on God in true faith...will certainly be heard.

The mystery of the humanity of Christ, that he sunk himself into our flesh, is beyond all human understanding.

My conscience is captive to the Word of God

Let the man who would hear God speak, read Holy Scriptures.
