Poverty and affliction take away the fuel that feeds pride.

God's truth always agrees with itself.

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.

If Christ has once possessed the affections, there is no dispossessing of him again. A fire in the heart overcomes all fires without.

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

Whatsoever is good for God's children they shall have it, for all is theirs to further them to heaven; therefore, if poverty be good, they shall have it; if disgrace be good, they shall have it; if crosses be good, they shall have them; if misery be good, they shall have it; for all is ours, to serve for our greatest good.

There is more mercy in Christ than sin in us.
