Pride of gifts robs us of God's blessing in the use of them.

Set a strong guard about thy outward senses: these are Satan's landing places, especially the eye and the ear.

Justifying faith is not a naked assent to the truths of the gospel.

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

There is no such way to be even with the devil and his instruments, for all their spite against us, as by doing what good we can wherever we be come.

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.

We live by faith, and faith lives by exercise.
