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

Christ hath told us He will come, but not when, that we might never put off our clothes, or put out the candle.

He that loves the Word and the purity of its precepts cannot turn traitor.

Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces.

Therefore tremble, O man, at any power thou hast, except thou usest it for God. Art thou strong in body; who hath thy strength? God, or thy lusts?

Prayer is nothing but the promise reversed, or God's Word formed into an argument, and retorted by faith upon God again.

The Christian in prayer comes up close to God, with a humble boldness of faith, and takes hold of him, wrestles with him; yea, will not let him go without a blessing... They are only a few noble-spirited souls, who dare take heaven by force, that are fit for this calling.
