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?

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

As you love your peace, Christian, be plain-hearted with God and man, and keep the king's highway.

The Christian is to proclaim and prosecute an irreconcilable war against his bosom sins; those sins which have lain nearest his heart, must now be trampled under his feet.

Furnish thyself with arguments from the promises to enforce thy prayers, and make them prevalent with God. The promises are the ground of faith, and faith, when strengthened, will make thee fervent, and such fervency ever speeds and returns with victory out of the field of prayer. The mightier any is in the Word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.

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