The prayers and supplications that Christ offered up were, joined with strong cries and tears, herein setting us example not only to pray, but to be fervent and importunate in prayer. How many dry prayers, how few wet ones, do we offer up to God!

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

Though we cannot by our prayers give God any information, yet we must by our prayers give him honor.

Our duty as Christians is always to keep heaven in our eye and earth under our feet.

Blushing is the colour of virtue.

Brotherly love is still the distinguishing badge of every true Christian.

Brown bread and the Gospel is good fare.
