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 not pity them, but “laugh at their calamity.” The blessed company in heaven shall rejoice in the execution of God's righteous judgment, and sing while the smoke riseth up for ever.

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.

Many a lash in the dark doth con science give the wicked.

For the turning away of the simple, shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

There is no true believing or trusting to the report of the gospel, but what is the effect of the working of a divine power on the soul for that end.

Let the mantle of worldly enjoyments hang loose about you, that it may be easily dropped when death comes to carry you into another world.
