Our ignorance of God is too great, because our estimations of God are too little.

What a curious workmanship is that of the eye, which is in the body, as the sun in the world; set in the head as in a watch-tower, having the softest nerves for receiving the greater multitude of spirits necessary for the act of vision!

Since therefore all things are ordered in subserviency to the good of man, they are so ordered by Him that made both man and them.

The little time that remains between this moment and our death, should quicken our diligence to inherit the endless and unchangeable eternity of God.

God doth not govern the world only by his will as an absolute monarch, but by his wisdom and goodness as a tender father. It is not his greatest pleasure to show his sovereign power, or his inconceivable wisdom, but his immense goodness, to which he makes the other attributes subservient.

God often lays the sum of His amazing providences in very dismal afflictions; as the limner first puts on the dusky colors, on which he intends to draw the portraiture of some illustrious beauty.
