The life of a Christian is wondrously ruled in this world, by the consideration and meditation of the life of another world.

It would be a good contest amongst Christians, one to labour to give no offence, and the other to labour to take none. The best men are severe to themselves, tender over others.

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

The way to cover our sin is to uncover it by confession.

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

There are no men more careful of the use of means than those that are surest of a good issue and conclusion, for the one stirs up diligence in the other. Assurance of the end stirs up diligence in the means. For the soul of a believing Christian knows that God has decreed both.

God's children improve all advantages to advance their grand end; they labour to grow better by blessings and crosses, and to make sanctified use of all things.
