All the plots of hell and commotions on earth have not so much as shaken God's hand to spoil one letter or line he has been drawing.

And therefore you who think so basely of the gospel and the professors of it, because at present their peace and comfort is not come, know it is on the way to them, and comes to stay everlastingly with them; whereas your peace is going from you every moment, and is sure to leave you without any hope of returning to you again. Look not how the Christian begins, but ends. The Spirit of God by his convictions comes into the soul with some terrors, but it closeth with peace and joy.

Christ will bear no equal, and Satan no superior; and therefore, hold in with both thou canst not.

No torment in the world is comparable to an accusing conscience.
