What the heart liketh best, the mind studieth most.

It is a destructive addition to add anything to Christ

The winter prepares the earth for the spring, so do afflictions sanctified prepare the soul for glory.

God's truth always agrees with itself.

It is Christ's manner to trouble our souls first, and then to come with healing in his wings.

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.

When we go to God by prayer, the devil knows we go to fetch strength against him, and therefore he opposes us all he can.
