In natures, we see God, as it were, like the sun in a picture; in the law, as the sun in a cloud; in Christ we see Him in His beams; He being 'the brightness of His glory, and the exact image of His person.

We often learn more of God under the rod that strikes us than under the staff that comforts us.

Paul was so much taken with Christ, that nothing sweeter than Jesus could drop from his lips and pen.

How worthy it is to remember former benefits when we come to beg for new.

We may be truly said to worship God, though we lack perfection; but we cannot be said to worship Him if we lack sincerity.

It is the black work of an ungodly man or an atheist, that God is not in all his thoughts. What comfort can be had in the being of God without thinking of him with reverence and delight? A God forgotten is as good as no God to us.

Since we are dead in sin, a spiritual light and flame in the heart suitable to the nature of the object of our worship, cannot be raised in us without the operation of supernatural grace... such a worship God must have, whereby he is acknowledged to be the true sanctifier and quickener of the soul.
