It is the image of God reflected in you that so enrages hell; it is this at which the demons hurl their mightiest weapons.

Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.

The devil had as good have let Paul alone, for he no sooner comes into prison but he falls a preaching, at which the gates of Satan's prison fly open, and poor sinners come forth.

The Christian, like a chalice without a base, cannot stand on his own nor hold what he has received any longer that God holds him in His strong hands.

What is Jordan that I should wash in it? What is the preaching that I should attend on it, while I hear nothing but what I knew before? What are these beggarly elements of water, bread, and wine? Are not these the reasonings of a soul that forgets who appoints the means of grace?

Christ bears with the saints' imperfections; well may the saints one with another.

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