Paradise had four rivers that watered the earth.... and howsoever neglected by many, they make glad the city of God. So Bernard sweetly: Eternal life is granted to us in election, promised in our vocation, sealed in our justification, possessed in our glorification. Conclude then, faithfully to thy own soul. I believe, therefore I am justified; I am justified, therefore I am sanctified; I am sanctified, therefore I am called; I am called, therefore I am elected; I am elected, therefore I shall be saved. Oh! settled comfort of joy, which ten thousand devils shall never make void.

Satan like a fisher, baits his hook according to the appetite of the fish.

He who demands mercy and shows none ruins the bridge over which he himself is to pass.

As God by creation made two of one, so again by marriage He made one of two.

A man may be so bold of his predestination, that he forget his conversation.

Conscience is God's deputy in the soul.
