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

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

Prayer is the breath of the new creature.

A man pleaser cannot be true to God, because he is a servant to the enemies of his service; the wind of a man's mouth will drive him about as the chaff, from any duty, and to any sin.

When Christ comes with regenerating grace, he finds no man sitting still, but all posting to eternal ruin, and making haste toward hell; till, by conviction, he first brings them to a stand, and then, by conversion, turn first their hearts, and then their lives, sincerely to himself.

You shall find this to be God's usual course: not to give his children the taste of his delights till they begin to sweat in seeking after them.

A holy and heavenly life is a continual pain to the consciences of sinners around you and continually solicits them to change their course.
