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.

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.

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.

Build your nest in no tree here...for the Lord of the forest has condemned the whole woods to be demolished.

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

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

It is comfort to the believer that all things are possible.
