When you find a chillness upon your souls, and that your former heat begins to abate, ply yourselves with warm clothes, get those good books that may acquaint you with such truths as may warm and affect your hearts.

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

It is hard to carry a full cup without spilling, and a full estate without sinning.
