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.

Grace tried is better than grace, and more than grace; it is glory in its infancy

The hope of heaven under troubles is like wind and sails to the soul.

No pen, no words, no image can express to you the loveliness of my only, only Lord Jesus.

You shall by faith sustain yourself and comfort yourself in your Lord, and be strong in His power; for you are in the beaten and common way to heaven, when you are under our Lord's crosses. You have reason to rejoice in it, more than in a crown of gold; and rejoice and be glad to bear the reproaches of Christ.

Show yourself a Christian by suffering without murmuring. In patience possess your soul - they lose nothing who gain Christ.

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