Satan gives Adam an apple, and takes away paradise. Therefore in all temptations consider not what he offers, but what we shall lose.
There is more mercy in Christ than sin in us.
It is Christ's manner to trouble our souls first, and then to come with healing in his wings.
The depths of our misery can never fall below the depths of mercy.
Christ does not choose you because you are good, but to make you good.
Christ quickens none but the dead. Why do not the papists attain to this grace of justification? They never see themselves wholly dead, but join some life to the natural estate of man. Therefore Christ quickens them not.
