A little love has made me willingly study, preach, write, and even suffer.

I remember myself, that when I was young, I had sometime the company of one ancient godly minister, who was of weaker parts than many others, but yet did profit me more than most; because he would never in prayer or conference speak of God, or the life to come, but with such marvelous seriousness and reverence, as if he had seen the majesty and glory which he talked of.

You may know God, but not comprehend Him.

I take the love of God and self-denial to be the sum of all saving grace and religion.

In a divine commonwealth holiness must have the principal honor and encouragement, and a great difference be made between the precious and the vile.

I tell you again, God hath not ordinarily decreed the end without the means; and if you will neglect the means of salvation, it is a certain mark that God hath not decreed you to salvation. But you shall find that He hath left you no excuse, because He hath not thus predestined you.

Keep company with the more cheerful sort of the Godly; there is no mirth like the mirth of believers.
