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.

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.

Well's them who are under crosses, and Christ says to them, "Half Mine."

When I look to my guiltiness, I see that my salvation is one of our Saviour's greatest miracles, either in heaven or earth.

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

The devil is but a whetstone to sharpen the faith and patience of the saints.-

We take nothing to the grave with us, but a good or evil conscience... It is true, terrors of conscience cast us down; and yet without terrors of conscience we cannot be raised up again.
