The law discovers the disease, and the gospel the physician.

If a man be new-born, he will desire the sincere milk of the word.

The gospel casts out a rope to hale sinners to land; but the sinner has no hands to lay hold on it; his very faith must be wrought in him by the Spirit.

God will hold sinners with one hand over the pit of hell, while He torments them with the other.

Good education is not regeneration. Education may chain up men's lusts, but cannot change their hearts.

Saving faith is the faith of God's elect; the special gift of God to them, wrought in them by his Spirit.

Call it no more free-will, but slavish lust; free to evil, but free from good, till regenerating grace loosens the bands of wickedness.
