The Christian's life should put his minister's sermon in print.
Can Christ be in thou heart and thou not know it? Can one king be dethroned and another crowned in thy soul and thou hear no scuffle?
The Christian is bred by the Word, and he must be fed by it.
Godliness is the child of truth, and it must be nursed by its own mother.
Compare not thyself with those that have less than thyself, but look on those that have far exceeded thee.
Paul was Nero's prisoner, but Nero was much more God's.
