A good man is willing to know the worst of himself, and particularly under affliction, desires to be told wherefore God contends with him and what God designs in correcting him.

You have been used to take notice of the sayings of dying men — this is mine: That a life spent in the service of God, and communion with him, is the most comfortable and pleasant life that one can live in the present world.

Nature is content with little; grace with less; but lust with nothing.

Nothing can make a man truly great but being truly good, and partaking of God's holiness.

Not lost, but gone before.

God is either your worst enemy or your best friend.

Those that set God always before them and walk before him with all their hearts, shall find him as good as his word and better; he will both keep covenant with them and show mercy to them.
