It is better to go bruised to heaven than sound to hell.

Those that look to be happy must first look to be holy.

It is good to divert our sorrow for other things to the root of all, which is sin. Let our grief run most in that channel, that as sin bred grief, so grief may consume sin.

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.

A man knows no more in religion than he loves and embraceth with the affections of his soul.

Sin is not so sweet in the committing as it is heavy and bitter in the reckoning.

Let weak Christians know that a spark from heaven, though kindled under green wood that sobs and smokes, yet it will consume all at last.
