A man may be a false prophet and yet speak the truth.

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.

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

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

It is atheism to pray and not wait on hope.

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

Faith, whereby especially Christ rules, sets the soul so high that it looks down on all other things as far below, as having represented to it, by the Spirit of Christ, riches, honor, beauty and pleasures of a higher nature.
