Keep God's covenant in your trials; hold you by His blessed word, and sin not; flee anger, wrath, grudging, envying, fretting; forgive a hundred pence to your fellow-servant, because your Lord hath forgiven you ten thousand talents: for, I assure you by the Lord, your adversaries shall get no advantage against you, except you sin, and offend your Lord, in your sufferings.

He who duly esteemeth Christ, is a noble bidder, and so a noble and liberal buyer.

Think it not hard if you get not your will, nor your delights in this life; God will have you to rejoice in nothing but himself.

Make not Christ a liar in distrusting His promise.
