A minister, without boldness, is like a smooth file, a knife without an edge, a sentinel that is afraid to let off his gun. If men will be bold in sin, ministers must be bold to reprove.

The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.

The Christian is bred by the Word, and he must be fed by it.

The Christian must trust in a withdrawing God.

He that is impatient, and cannot wait on God for a mercy, will not easily submit to Him in a denial.

We are justified, not by giving anything to God,--what we do,--but by receiving from God, what Christ hath done for us.

Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces.
