To wait on God is to live a life of desire toward Him, delight in Him, dependence on Him, and devotedness to Him.

See what a hidden life the life of a good Christian is, and how much it is concealed from the eye and observation of the world. The most important part of the business lies between God and our own souls, in the frame of our spirits and the working of our hearts, in our actions that no eye sees except the all-seeing God. Justly are the saints called God's hidden ones, and His secret is said to be with them. They have meat to eat and work to do that the world does not know of, as well as joys, griefs, and cares that a stranger does not share.

All obedience begins in the affections, and nothing in religion is done right, that is not done there first.

The way to preserve the peace of the church is to preserve its purity.

Death to a good man is his release from the imprisonment of this world, and his departure to the enjoyments of another world.

Men may die like lambs and yet have their place forever with the goats.

God's favour is happiness.
