Make careful choice of the books which you read: let the holy scriptures ever have the pre-eminence, and, next to them, those solid, lively, heavenly treatises which best expound and apply the scriptures, and next, credible histories, especially of the Church... but take heed of false teachers who would corrupt your understandings.

Lord, I surrender. I am completely overcome by your love.

Dangers breed fears, and fears more dangers bring.

To live among such excellent helps as our libraries afford, to have so many silent wise companions whenever we please.

Keep up your conjugal love in a constant heat and vigor. Love will suppress wrath: you cannot have a bitter mind upon small provocations, against those that you dearly love.

Preach to yourselves the sermons which you study, before you preach them to others.
