No sin is so great but the satisfaction of Christ and His mercies are greater; it is beyond comparison. Fathers and mothers in tenderest affections are but beams and trains to lead us upwards to the infinite mercy of God in Christ.

Christ quickens none but the dead. Why do not the papists attain to this grace of justification? They never see themselves wholly dead, but join some life to the natural estate of man. Therefore Christ quickens them not.

It is atheism to pray and not wait on hope.

God takes a safe course with His children, that they may not be condemned with the world, He permits the world to condemn them, that they may not love the world, the world hates them.

A curse lies upon those that, when the truth suffers, have not a word to defend it.

Whatsoever God takes away from His children, He either replaces it with a much greater favor or else gives strength to bear it.

The winter prepares the earth for the spring, so do afflictions sanctified prepare the soul for glory.
