It is a destructive addition to add anything to Christ

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.

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

In the godly, holy truths are conveyed by way of a taste; gracious men have a spiritual palate as well as a spiritual eye. Grace alters the spiritual taste.

The life of a Christian should be a meditation how to unloose his affection from inferior things. He will easily die that is dead before in affection.

Poverty and affliction take away the fuel that feeds pride.

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