Every man by nature is a freeman born; by nature no man cometh out of the womb under any civil subjection to king, prince, or judge.

Let us be faithful and care for our own part, which is to do and suffer for Him, and lay Christ's part on Himself, and leave it there; duties are ours, events are the Lord's.

My dear brother, let God make of you what He will, He will end all with consolation, and shall make glory out of your suffering.

Verily, we know not what an evil it is to indulge ourselves, and to make an idol of our will.

I wonder many times that ever a child of God should have a sad heart, considering what their Lord is preparing for them.

Consider, it is impossible that your idol sins and you can go to heaven together; and that those who will not part with these do not indeed love Christ at the bottom, but only in word and show, which will not do the business.

There is no sweeter fellowship with Christ than to bring our wounds and our sores to him.
