Thus it is in hell; they would die, but they cannot. The wicked shall be always dying but never dead; the smoke of the furnacedascends for ever and ever. Oh! who can endure thus to be ever upon the rack? This word "ever" breaks the heart. Wicked men do now think the Sabbaths long, and think a prayer long; but oh! how long will it be to lie in hell for ever and ever?

Affliction has a sting, out withal a wing: sorrow shall fly away.

The godly have some good in them, therefore the devil afflicts them; and some evil in them, therefore God afflicts them.

Joining a company is an act that calls for absolute loyalty in big matters and little ones.

There is justice in hell, but sin is the most unjust thing. It would rob God of his glory, Christ of his purchase, the soul of its happiness.

He may look on death with joy, who can look on forgiveness with faith.

Those prayers God likes best which come seething hot from the heart.
