My Lord, I have nothing to do in this World, but to seek and serve thee; I have nothing to do with a Heart and its affections, but to breathe after thee. I have nothing to do with my Tongue and Pen, but to speak to thee, and for thee, and to publish thy Glory and thy Will. What have I to do with all my Reputation, and Interest in my Friends, but to increase thy Church, and propagate thy holy Truth and Service? What have I to do with my remaining Time, even these last and languishing hours, but to look up unto thee, and wait for thy Grace, and thy Salvation?

While doubt cannot be expelled, it can be subdued.

Hell is paved with infants skulls.

Most (Christians) have an ungrounded trust in Christ, hoping that He will pardon, justify and save them, while the world has their hearts, and they live to the flesh. And this trust they take as justifying faith.

Lay siege to your sins, and starve them out by keeping away the food and fuel which is their maintenance and life.

Life is short, and we are dull, and eternal things are necessary, and the souls that depend on our teaching are precious.

Keep up a humble sense of your own faults, and that will make you compassionate to others
